Until February 28, the exhibition 'The Secret Garden' by artist Manolo Pardo can be enjoyed at the Town Hall.
A sample that reinterprets the famous work of El Bosco 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' and that was inaugurated by the Councilor for Culture, Ginés Campillo, and Manolo Pardo himself who were accompanied by the curator of the exhibition, Juan García Sandoval, the artist local Blas Miras and Antonio Soto, friend of the author.
The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursday and Friday afternoons from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Manolo Pardo explained to those present that "for a long time I went through this picture of El Bosco but I looked at it without seeing it. Until one day I passed by, I passed by but something made me stop, and I went back to the box to ask what it represented, but I didn't understand it. "
From that moment, this reinterpretation is born that leaves no one indifferent.
"I posed a challenge and told myself I will understand what is in the picture and I began to paint it until the work of El Bosco went away and what I wanted to express appeared."
Pardo thanked the city council for its commitment to Culture and the mayor of Culture and the Town Hall team for their "warm welcome I had when I presented this project."
Commissioner García Sandoval highlighted "the creative fusion of Manolo Pardo and the dialogue that is established with the Garden of Earthly Delights because it makes, in a very successful way, a game with contemporary art and with what we call classical art and one of its great icons ".
For his part, Blas Miras invited viewers to see the show "with an open mind" and Antonio Soto praised the quality of the author "being one of the artists I like the most".
Ginés Campillo said that "we wanted to inaugurate this year's exhibition season at Casas Consistoriales with Manolo Pardo because he is obviously a great artist and this room is reserved for great artists."
The Councilor for Culture praised the quality of the painter and thanked García Sandoval and, especially, Blas Miras for his involvement in order to promote Art and Culture in the municipality.
The Councilor for Culture explained that "the exhibition captivated me from the beginning and we liked the theme very much to be based on 'The Garden of Delights' of El Bosco."
Campillo recalled that "the City Council of Mazarrón has always opted for Culture. In Consistorial Houses we always have large exhibitions and this one certainly is" so he invited all citizens to go to Consistorial Houses "to enjoy it".
