Rodolfo Oviedo Vega
De origenes a horizontes
From Origins to Horizons

October 10-November 24, 2024

It is a visual experience created by the artist Rodolfo Oviedo Vega, encapsulating the rich cultural and symbolic heritage of the Americas. From Paris, where he resides, to San Salvador, his place of origin, Oviedo Vega incorporates his art around four fundamental axises related to significant periods of the continent: the indigenous peoples; the complexity of cultural clash, conquest, slavery, and Afro-descendant peoples; the struggle for independence and national identities; and the multiple challenges of the modern era. This exhibition acts as a form of non-verbal communication, where artistic expressions convey messages and emotions that transcend borders and build bridges of understanding.

Rodolfo Oviedo Vega has become a symbol of the inter-American system, using art and painting to highlight the dynamism and virtues of a community committed to its origins. His art and commitment to the artistic community strengthen cultural ties between France and Latin America.This work is the result of a collaborative and creative process involving the artist and curators. With this exhibition at the Art Museum of the Americas, we embark on a fascinating journey with Rodolfo Oviedo Vega and curators Marisa Caichiolo (Argentina-United States), Rafael Alas Vasquez (El Salvador), Christina Chirouze Montenegro (Guatemala-France), and Pancho Lopez (Mexico), who together explore and interpret the history of our continent through art.
