The artist José Carlos Ñíguez will conduct, on Saturday, February 1 at 12:00 hours, a guided tour of his exhibition 'Hidden look', to show his special look on a building rescued from antiquity, the Roman Theater of Cartagena, to through unpublished images of it.
The exhibition brings together more than fifty photographs of great artistic quality that transferred to cotton paper reflect the emotions and feelings of the author, turning the photographic work almost into a pictorial canvas.
The artist has worked more than a year on the creative project focusing his lens on these stone elements, which torn from the bowels of the earth, were carved by artisans and stonemasons from another era.
Those ancient stones of the Roman Theater and those works of its ornamental program exhibited in the Museum have been the source of inspiration in Hidden Look.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
José Carlos Ñíguez (Cartagena, autumn 1954).
He is a Doctor of Medicine, Specialist in Pediatrics.
His relationship with photography begins in the eighties in a self-taught way, although it is from 2007 when he decides to bring his work to light.
He has won numerous national and international awards and has participated in collective and individual exhibitions.
His works are in numerous public and private collections.
When asked about his photography, he points out: "I long for my images to be unknown in their own reality."
The artist does not look at the world to document it, but takes it as a starting point to reinvent it.
Its reality crosses the space of its emotions, trying to open the doors to distant universes that we do not perceive.
His images reside in the intuition of what is hidden on the other side of the camera: those spaces where the inexplicable, the amazing, the mystery dwells.
Where the real and the imaginary is confused.
