About the Blog

This blog aspires to gather a selection of the most relevant texts I have written throughout my career as a critic, curator, and researcher of visual arts in Venezuela. It also features current writings authored by me.

After nearly thirty years of professional activity —in which the ongoing visits to exhibitions, art salons, and artists’ studios have shaped this work into a true "craft of looking"— these texts seem to me like a kind of tapestry where artists, groups, periods, movements, and theoretical aspects of Venezuelan art, as well as some related to Latin American art, are woven together.

This collection includes curatorial essays, press articles, lectures, books, interviews with artists, and reviews of exhibitions, among other writings.

In addition, I have published here, in installments, my Chronology of Venezuelan Art, a research project I began in 2013 that compiles the most significant events in our visual arts from 1900 up to the year of its completion. My hope is that it may serve as a resource and, above all, be enriched by the contributions of all those interested in the historiography of our visual arts.

I hope the contents of this blog contribute to the understanding, dissemination, and appreciation of the arts and artists of our country and the continent.

Welcome!
