Fragmento de una obra de Cáliz Pallarés

The Botanical Garden of the Universitat de València hosts the exhibition Natura mediterrànea. Paisatges i vegetació (Mediterranean nature. Landscapes and flora) by Cáliz Pallarés. The exhibition displays the last creative decade of this Valencian artist that always has shown, along her international career, a genuine interest for nature. The relationship with the environment is a constant in her painting and engraving works that, until the 26th of May, can be visited in the Hort de Tramoieres Room of the Botanical Garden.

Pallarés’ proposal gathers 59 painting and engraving pieces and a sculptural installation with natural strains that offer to the public her particular vision of the vegetal universe.

As the gallery owner Isabel Bilbao has asserted, the reiteration of the elements is a type of light, background, shadows and brilliance test that enables her to research and to create an expressively personal Nature. During the inauguration of the exhibition that took place on Thursday, the 28th of March, Pallarés herself expressed her interest in the idea of repeating the same element only changing the colour as the seasons change, working on it with different techniques such as serigraph, xylography and etching as well as experimenting with different materials.

Cáliz Pallarés is a Valencian artist, specialist in engraving and painting, graduated in Fine Arts by the Faculty of San Carlos. Along her career, she has organised several individual and collective exhibitions in the Valencian territory and in the rooms and museums of Barcelona, Málaga, Segovia and Mainz and her work can be found in institutions such as the Palau de la Música de València, the Fondo Cultural Bancaixa, the Biblioteca Nacional and in Cairo’s Museum.

The exhibition Natura mediterrània. Paisatges i vegetació can be visited until the 26th of May in the Hort de Tramoieres room of the Botanical Garden of the Universitat de València. Open from Monday to Sunday from 10a.m. to 20p.m. with free entry.
