- Cs considers it "unforgivable" that public representatives have ignored these works of art;

the last time the works of the mystical and esoteric series were seen was in a 2001 exhibition in the Exhibition Hall of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena

- "Neither Culture nor Heritage have still sent us the municipal inventory of the work of this unrepeatable artist", lamented the local spokesman, Manuel Padín

Following the statements offered yesterday by the councilor responsible for the area of ​​Culture and Heritage, David Martínez, in which he claimed that there is no work of the painter and illustrator, Nicomedes Gómez, which is not controlled and cataloged by the City of Cartagena, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, hopes "that before the writings through the General Registry that we have submitted a few days ago to Patrimonio y Cultura, they should respond and not only do so through the media, and clarify the exact location, and the list of works that are in possession of the Consistory and the documentation related to the way in which these goods were acquired ".

"At the moment, we celebrate that our alarm signal and our doubts have served to make the Department of Culture nervous and announce suddenly that you want to prepare an exhibition of the work of this great painter, a timely and happy coincidence," he indicated the orange spokesman.

For Manuel Padín, "it is unforgivable that public representatives have ignored these works of art, the last time they saw the works of the mystical and esoteric series was in a 2001 exhibition in the Exhibition Hall of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena which was organized among other entities, by the City Council, where 12 works of municipal ownership were exhibited, three of them acquired by the Consistory in 1980, and the other nine ceded in 1984 by Nicomedes Gómez after his death, "Manuel Padín reported. regrets that "the life and work of Nicomedes Gómez is studied in France but suffer the indifference of his countrymen."

"In Ciudadanos we believe that 16 years without seeing the work of this unrepeatable artist is an insult to his memory", Manuel Padín has complained that he insisted that if the Department does not move record, he will request at the next ordinary plenary session that the City Council " the necessary steps to put his legacy in value, we have a pending debt and we have to find a place to permanently expose the vision and the incalculable gift of this man to Cartagena. "

Works auctioned online

Citizens warned last weekend that they were auctioning works by Nicomedes Gómez in specialized websites for the sale of art and antiques that could be municipal property, "we can not say, but in the absence of municipal information, it is what We fear, because to this day nobody has been able to tell us how many works of the esoteric and mystical series belong to our municipal gallery.
