Puerto Rico 1957 was a member cofounder of plastic and literary group "El Alfil" in 1984. In this new creative project poetry is accompanied by a photographic exhibition of objects Trelles has been transformed into pieces of art. The artistic fusion of "The fish in flames" A écfrasis word of Greek origin that have been defined as "the verbal representation of a visual representation.The book represents the confirmation of a constant in his creative career a kind of synesthetic nature leading it - him and his artistic-production to a new open dialogue a game of mirrors in which we cannot discern its reverberation to the original: poems and pictures are part of the same dynamic cohabit in the aesthetic imagination and are accomplices of a dialogue that reinvents itself to each new look. There is no origin and no end since it is not the intention of the artist confine the possibilities of this dynamic but give account of animism the stories they understand and carry objects that have already been discarded and inevitably integrate with lightness to this second existence. "My paintings are open stories is a narrative painting but it works beyond the story behind the work. I'm interested in telling stories." Beautifully photographed by Johnny Betancourt.

The present study explores the "serious and consistent" architecture of Enrique Triana b. Colombia 1929. The author uses the residential project "Casa Triana" House Triana to identify in it the formal and persistent elements that characterize all his projects and that reflect the strong influence of famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. El presente trabajo es un acercamiento a la obra seria y consistente del arquitecto Enrique Triana quien además ha sido profesor de muchas generaciones en los talleres de Diseño Arquitectónico de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. El contenido expresivo se considera como la síntesis de las influencias que han sido asimiladas y filtradas por los sistemas de valores personal disciplinar y profesional- hasta llegar a decantar en constantes expresivas; estas constantes se manifiestan a través de actitudes ante la vida criterios de composición y elementos arquitectónicos concretos. Como hilo conductor para estructurar esta búsqueda se utiliza el recorrido por la Casa Triana para identificar en ella las características formales que pueden reflejar constantes expresivas y encontrar luego estas constantes en otros proyectos en los cuales se manifiestan recursos equivalentes. Así se conformará el conjunto de persistencias que caracterizan su obra.

177217013Rome 1772. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Good condition. Three repaired tears to the left blank margin. Sight size: 31 1/8 x 18 1/4 inches. A highly decorative print from the famous "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" series with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print.<br/> <br/>A very fine image from the first part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. This remarkable print one of the first to be published of the decoration of the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments was probably planned as early as 1760 but was not executed until between 1772 and 1776. The project as a whole was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The whole series was of importance not just for the size and magnificent colouring of the prints but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and stimulated the taste for the "grotesque" in the neo-classical period.<br/> <br/>Cf.
