María Iglesias
I have known Marta Iglesias for so many years that I don’t even know the exact year. She started to paint only 15 years ago. She says she does it in order to “channel my feelings so that I get to express them through my paintings without having to paint faces, landscapes or objects”. She adds that she “barely combines colours”, a gesture of modesty with which I identify her.
Florentino Férnandez Iglesias was born in La Helguera (Morcín) in 1887 and then emigrated to the U.S. in 1903, following the footsteps of his family. Based on St. Louis, there, he met a famous photographer of German origin, Jacob Haas, and became his disciple and partner.
In 1915, he came back to Spain and opened a photography studio in Corrida Street (Gijón) under the pseudonym, “Frank”, name by which he will be known...
On March 30th, 1890, Palm Sunday, the trams in Gijón started to function in the first line from Corrida Street to La Guía. Gijon’s tram network, whose route was finished in 1905, was a network of radial nature consisting of three lines which covered a trajectory of 15 km., the first one directed to the orient, towards the residential and leisure zones of the Ensanche and of the neighbouring parish of Somió; and the other two, one from La Calzada to El Musel and the other from El llano towards the south, aimed to serve the residential and working-class neighbourhoods.

We come from water, from the sea, from the mountains. We come from nature. We are nature. We come to stay, to remain. To see and learn, and forget the already learned and start all over again. We come to do and undo, to build. To create.
Javier Hernández Cabezudo
Asturias, that watercolour from which the painter, through impulses of the heart, takes a landscape, a place hidden in the mist or sunbathed, the murmur of the sea that everyday offers us its waves to the rhythm of a wind that knows how to get the paintbrush of the artist and, that sea, blue just because that is what the sky wants...

In this sample, I strike up a dialogue which flows in between the great teachers I admire and my surroundings.

Ágora Arte
The diversity of the works presented by the painting group “Agora Arte”, the free expression of its components in the chosen topics, both in the models and in the themes.
Collective
More than a year ago I started working on a project that joined together my passion for photography and painting; that is how “Retazos de Asturias” was born.
After making a selection of my pictures of different places in the Principado, I proposed various painters through my blog to paint those pictures with their different techniques and art.
José Ramón Rodríguez “Mon”
The works presented by “Mon” in this exhibition did not come about by chance; each one of them has been selected in order to meditate and be able to see the strength of the sea, the charm of our marvellous coast, which once again makes us think “Asturias, natural paradise”.

A long dispute with sable brushes, looking for that point so fickle elablración having watercolor, finished after an unexpected finding. It did not happen on grainy paper, but in a corner of the cellar, where some time appeared by surprise an old box of crayons ago.

As a subtle rebuke regrets the fact: "This moment is yours, so you snatched me".
