22 June 2012 – 11 September 2012 - More than tequila and sombreros - Laurelena Rodríguez Garcidueñas, oil paintings

On 22 June 2012 at 4pm the exhibition hall of the museum is going to light up by suns and colours in the paintings brought by the young painter from her natal Mexico.

The author achieved a degree in international business and a degree in finance in Mexico. She addicted herself to painting in her childhood, and took private lessons by artist Victor Rodriguez.

After her arrival to the Czech republic at the beginning of year 2010, she started to paint that, which she misses in the local environment. Her paintings record the habits of the ordinary life of Mexicans, customs, but also symbolic pictures of the Gods of the pre-Spanish Mexico. To a lesser extent, she is also inspired by Czech and European houses. She is fascinated by red weeds, daisy wheels, but also by Italian beaches.

Besides paintings, facts about Mexico and author's jewellery are presented to visitors.

Laurelena and her paintings are going to be introduced by Ondřej Michalák, actor Petr Batěk is going to give a musical treat.
