His art grew first in his native Los Angeles, a city that slowly has become almost a part of Mexico since it holds more Mexicans than any other city after our own monstrous capital. This alone was enough to make Wolfryd’s art a hybrid. But he came to live in Mexico, just when our own culture appeared to be invaded and transfigured by…

Tabuena y Wolfryd—A Meeting Point A new meaning for the portrait and the landscape   It was in the turbulent sixties and under the unique light of San Miguel de Allende. The Philippine painter Romeo Tabuena (1921-2015) had already been working in the city for twenty years, reinventing his own work, influenced by the Mexican muralist movement. The American Barry Wolfryd (1952) arrived in San Miguel in 1975 almost by accident to shape himself as a painter. Both artists converged at the Instituto Allende, forming part of the intense and vibrant atmosphere created at the time. Later, Tabuena continued consolidating…

Mitología Ambigua del Placer | Lucio Santiago Desde la edad de cinco años, Lucio Santiago, entro al maravilloso mundo del arte gracias a su padre quien desde esta edad lo llevó a visitar varios museos, aunque para el propio Lucio era incomprensible lo que veía en ellos.
