Binging together some of the best pieces of the XXI century, Innovation and creativity remains an essential part of art. Collective exhibition hosted by the CAAM until July aims to show the paths artist have taken over the last 25 years.

Different techniques of all kinds: Pictures that look like photographs, murals made of plasticine and cloth, statues formed by thick layers of paint and recycled materials, pictures loudly criticizing the bankers and the society in which they live, graffiti… and many more aspects of XXI century´s art are present in this exhibition.

Marisa Galarza (local artist) brings Africa closer to us. Through a variety of different animals, people, and plants, she manages to turn the showroom into a safari through Africa. She uses wide range of techniques to develop her paintings, achieving some extraordinary textures. One of the things that caught my attention in this exhibition, was how she uses the colours and titles to express hidden messages behind each animal.

Octavio Esteva is a local artista (Gran Canaria). Inspired by Yolanda Graziani and influenced by Cesar Manrrique, his abstract paintings express inexpressible feelings.  I loved this exposition because as they are abstract when you look at them your subconscious interpret hidden messages; so half of what you see in the paintings comes from the paintings itself and the other half from each individual´s mind.

I went to see his exhibition and had the opportunity of talking to him. He explained he paints everyday since three years ago. He started painting because his sister-in-law, gave him a box with oil paints for christmas.
