Tides of change” exhibition of sculpture and photography by Daría González and Samuel Reséndiz
10 June 2022 @ 10:00 - 24 June 2022 @ 20:00
Los Mangos Cultural Center Library has the honor of inviting you to the exhibition: “Tides of Change”, an exhibition of sculpture and photography for the International Oceans Day by the artists Daría González and Samuel Reséndiz, next June 10 5:30 pm in the Berenice Starr Room. The inauguration will begin with a forum with the guests: Mara García, writer, Yuridia Curiel, biologist, Eder Soriano, marine biologist and Tania Mancha as Moderator.
Daria González and Samuel Reséndiz are talents from Vallarta. Samuel is a marine photographer; Daria, sculptor. Today we are celebrating his artistic look at the vast ocean with these “Tides of Change.”
Their salt-paw footprints are marked in the waters of Banderas Bay where nature rejoices in a play of blues and greens. In this flow, the Sierra Madre submerges into the Sea of Vallarta to merge with the waves; The rivers run freely towards that other salty universe, while carrying with them the earth and fragments of parotas, primroses or guamúchiles, sailors invited to the celebration of marine life.
In these “Tides of Change”, the nuances of light fading towards the depths are rediscovered, the cadence of flying in the water and of breathing amazement at the immensity of the sea. Artists enjoy expressing themselves about a territory that we can share, but that, they know, belongs to other living beings. This exhibition is a tribute of Art to the owners of the oceans.
Since he was little, Samuel lived surrounded by the endless blue-green of the Pacific that awakened his creative soul, and today, thanks to his expert eye, we can see the world just as he sees it. His images enhance the natural beauty of the region in its own environment; His skill with the lens allows us to transport ourselves to that dazzling world in motion that is hidden a few meters below the surface of the sea.
Daria is a plastic artist who flows light as water and is committed to the dissemination and teaching of art, as a means of expression, emotional self-regulation and creative dissemination. For this exhibition, he has rescued raw materials from the region. Trunks of parotas - with their beautiful natural reddish color that allows for unique creations - and primroses - docile, like a blank canvas - embrace clay and ceramics with new meanings. Present in its history, Sunday visits to the beach, tradition and memory treasured and always present, are reflected in delicate works inspired by the richness of the seascape.
This exhibition for International Oceans Day is made up of unique and original sculptures and photographs, with compositions of details that delight, revive our senses and remind us of the obligation to be human with other living beings. Through their works, Daria and Samuel recover habits, customs, migrations, freedoms and companionship of marine beings in their natural world.
Respect through Art. Awareness of two interconnected and also independent worlds.
Today, memories are reflected in the present; They are printed with creative and powerful energy. Art in the hands of these artists creates a unique poetic universe to the rhythm of their sculptures and photographs. With the Vallarta sea as a faithful companion, they share a sensitive vision that celebrates the ocean, to bring us closer, inform us and connect with it. It is a magical, almost magnetic experience that delights the senses and caresses the soul.
