The Subjective Room of the Department of Youth located in the Consistorial Palace will host from March 1 to April 15 the exhibition Dreams of Coal, by the artist María Garres Sánchez.
The Councilor of the Culture, Education and Youth Heritage Area David Martínez Noguera, will open on March 1 at 7:00 p.m. the work of this young artist in this small exhibition hall, conceived as an Emerging Art gallery aimed at stimulating the creative impulse and supporting to young artists, providing them with a space to exhibit their work that would otherwise be difficult for them to access.
María Garres Sánchez, 23, started her undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Murcia in 2014, combining them with her training in Animation at the School of Arts of Murcia.
Despite his youth, he already has a career and in 2015 participates as an animation assistant in the documentary feature film "La memoria de la manos", directed by Alfoso Burgos.In 2016 he participates in documentaries about the painter Pedro Cano, also directed by Alfonso Burgos Risco, documentaries all of which have won several international awards.
He has also participated with the works "PÁJAROS" in the itinerant collective exhibition entitled "Collective Exhibition of Fine Arts of the University of Murcia".
In spite of his youth he has already published a book in a bibliophile edition containing twelve original lithographs of his, edited in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts "Wladyslaw Strzeminski" of £ ód¼, the International Center Kaus Urbino and the Fine Innovation Group Arts IBBAA of the University of Murcia.
His series of drawings to the natural "Dreams of Coal" does not show us an organized project about the dream, nor a study of skill, nor sketches for major works.
It is about his most personal and intimate works, those that have no other purpose than their own enjoyment, were not made for anyone but for her.
Its protagonists are their loved ones and closest, and each and every one of the works, arise spontaneously in difficult moments to force.
Those moments in which it seems that time stops, you breathe calm and the person sleeps deeply, which makes it back to the eyes of the artist tremendously beautiful and sincere.
María captures a magical and intimate moment where the person portrayed tells who she is and what she is going through, without having to worry about her appearance or her posture, and does not act or pose since she sleeps abandoned to her most intimate dreams.
