Hello fellow travelers, it is a pleasure to greet you and share a beautiful destination in the city of Cumaná, we return to the museum of contemporary art to see its "strange figures (as I have called them), these are located on the right side of the museum, in a wall in front of the staircase that leads to the castle; for me they are strange and perhaps incomprehensible, but for the artist they are great works that contain an important meaning, these are located inside the museum and on one of the sides as I already mentioned .
The museum headquarters is a beautiful construction of modern design, made up of trapezoid-shaped panels and panoramic windows on both sides, which allow the passage of sunlight. The museum is part of the San Antonio de la Eminencia foundation that includes Also the castle, on the left side of the museum there is a photo of Grand Marshal Antonio José de Sucre, Simón Bolívar and former President Chávez with several photos of the Castle where the sentry boxes can be seen, the entrance to the Castle is decorated with a beautiful photograph of the Castle, photos of the Grand Marshal, among others, on the main door there is a poster where you can read the opening hours to the public; The floor at the entrance is made of concrete and granite, it is also adorned with beautiful palm trees in the corner and on the sides of the main door.
Hola amigos viajeros, es un placer saludarles y compartir un hermoso destino en la ciudad de Cumaná, volvemos al museo de arte contemporáneo para conocer sus "extrañas figuras (como las he llamado), estas se ubican en el lado derecho del museo, en un muro al frente de la escalera que conduce al castillo; para mi son extrañas y tal vez incomprensibles, pero para el artista son grandes obras que encierran un importante significado, estas se ubican en el interior del museo y en uno de los laterales como ya mencioné.
La sede del museo es una hermosa construcción de diseño moderno, constituida por paneles que tienen forma de trapecio y ventanas panorámicas a ambos lados, que permiten el paso de la luz solar, el museo forma parte de la fundación San Antonio de la Eminencia que incluye también el castillo, en el lateral izquierdo del museo se encuentra una foto del Gran Mariscal Antonio José de Sucre, de Simón Bolívar y del expresidente Chávez con varias fotos del Castillo donde se aprecian e las garitas, la entrada del Castillo está decorada con una hermosa fotografía del Castillo, fotos de Gran Mariscal,entre otras, en la puerta principal hay un afiche donde se leen los horarios de atención al público; el piso en la entrada es de concreto y granito, está adornado también con hermosas palmeras en la esquina y a los lados de la puerta principal.
On the wall near the side staircase there are several sculptures, made with iron and wood, the truth is I only understood one of them, the blue rhombus with a cylindrical base; Among the others, a black one stands out, which are semi-arches attached to a rectangular base at the bottom and with ropes that go from the top to the base. Moving forward, you can see a silver-colored sculpture, which apparently was made with scrap cars, there is also a green cylinder formed by the union of several drums, a very particular one made of wood that gives the impression of a human figure, lying down, these sculptures, no matter how strange they may seem, are striking and intriguing, for reasons of time, well, now As closing time approached, I was unable to ask the guide the meaning of these particular sculptures.
En el muro cerca de la escalera lateral, hay varias esculturas, elaboradas con hierro y madera, la verdad solo entendí una de ellas, el rombo azul con base cilíndrica; entre las otras se destaca una de color negro que son semi arcos unidos a una base rectangular en la parte inferior y con cuerdas que van desde la parte superior hasta la base, avanzando se ve una escultura de color plateado, que al parecer fue elaborada con chatarras de autos, hay también un cilindro de color verde formado por la unión de varios tambores, una muy particular de madera que da da la impresión de una figura humana, acostada, estas esculturas por más extrañas que parezcan son llamativas e intrigantes, por motivos de tiempo, pues, ya se acercaba la hora de cerrar no pude preguntarle a la guía el significado de estas particulares esculturas.
Inside the museum, in addition to the usual paintings by prominent artists, there are three sculptures made of wood, according to the guide they are abstract sculptures where the author recreates the life of birds, especially their feeding, they travel many kilometers flying from one from one place to another looking for delicious fruits, when they find it they make it their favorite place to obtain food and return periodically to satisfy their hunger.
The scene consists of three figures, the first starting from the left side towards the center, it is shaped like a flying bird, its wings are seen extended backwards and it is dark brown in color. The sculpture rests on a cylindrical pedestal with a square base, in the In the center there is a figure that is lighter brown than the previous one and rests on a base similar to that of the bird. The concept of this sculpture represents two nuts, which in turn have an opening where the bird has been eating. The other sculpture is very similar to the central one but this one has a darker color, they are two apples, with several openings on the sides, it also has an opening in the center, both are circular in shape and are joined at one end, this union forms a kind of triangle.
Getting to know the abstract and strange sculptures was an adventure full of riddles with more questions than answers heh heh, the imagination of the artists is definitely admirable and full of mysteries that invite museum attendees to decipher them.
En el interior del museo, además de los acostumbrados cuadros de destacados artistas, se encuentran tres esculturas elaboradas en madera, según la guía son esculturas abstractas donde el autor recrea la vida de las aves, especialmente su alimentación, ellas viajan muchos kilómetros volando de un lugar a otro buscando deliciosos frutos, al encontrarlo lo convierten en su lugar favorito para obtener alimentos y vuelven periódicamente para saciar el hambre.
La escena consta de tres figuras, la primera partiendo desde el lado izquierdo hacia el centro, tiene forma de ave volando, sus alas se ven extendidas hacia atrás y es de color marrón oscuro la escultura descansa en un pedestal cilíndrico con base cuadrada, en el centro hay una figura de color marrón más claro que la anterior y descansa en una base similar a la del ave, el concepto de esta escultura representa dos nueces, que tienen a su vez una abertura donde el ave ha ido comiendo, la otra escultura es muy parecida a la central pero esta tiene un color más oscuro, son dos manzanas, con varias aberturas en los lados, posee también una abertura en el centro, ambas tienen forma circular y están unidas por uno de los extremos, esta unión forma una especie de triángulo.
Conocer las esculturas abstractas y extrañas fue una aventura llena de acertijos con más preguntas que respuestas je, je, definitivamente la imaginación de los artistas es admirable y cargada de misterios que invitan a los asistentes al museo a descifrarlos.
Blessings!
