Broken Embraces Premiere in Puerto Vallarta Penelope Cruz embodies Lena, a young woman who dreams of success in film and develops a look similar to that of Audrey Hepburn in such films as "Breakfast at Tiffany’s"
Lines, lights, shadows, color, depth, interiors, spaces, voids, symbols, allegories, copdes, aesthetic, dreams reality, movement, expansion, vitality, time, stories, are some of the countless elements that by means of the canvas and the brush, painter Miguel Carrillo uses to give expression and to develop his creativity.
Miguel Carrillo was born in Merida Yucatán, in 1947. He is a self taught artist with over 20 years of career and around 400 paintings. His work has been shown at the National History Museum and the National Museum of Graphic and the Fine Art Palace, as well as in galleries across the Mexican republic, United States and Germany.
Maestro Carrillo realized he wanted to be an artist because since the age of eight, he began paying attention to visual arts, and without knowing whether the paintings he liked belonged to great masters or not, he experienced an infatuation with the painting; it was part of his nature.
This artist’s work finds in oil and charcoals the best techniques to talk with the human being: “He inspires me, because I can’t conceive of a landscape without a human figure that is watching it. I am ecstatic to conceive man as the center of the universe. My art, as universal art, does not have a specific race, era, or social level. It is simply man as such, talking to other human beings”. The elements he introduces in his paintings are: human figure, a torn down wall and a story: “The only thing that gives us certainty of being alive is the present time; but it does not prevents us from seeing there is a past from which it is running away, constantly sneaking out from it. The present moment is the central figure in my paintings, but it faces a past that was present at a certain point. So it is nothing but completely missing the present.”
His greatest artistic challenges are, on one hand, keeping the aesthetic beauty of his main characters -that is why human figure in his creations is not older than 25 years- and on the other hand, to be able to confront them with an ephemeral present that melts away, that cracks and tears in a human’s lifetime; a present moment that unavoidably, evokes past.
