The Estepona City Council informs that next Wednesday, January 28, at 18:00 hours, a pictorial conference on ‘The color yellow: an essential unknown’ will be held in the Maria Zambrano Room of the Municipal Library of the Padre Manuel Cultural Center.

The talk, with free admission until full capacity, will be given by Rocío Garín, teacher of the Drawing and Painting Workshop of the municipal delegation of Culture, is aimed at all ages, and aims to promote interest in the visual arts.

During the conference, the speaker will discover some of the incredible stories behind the colors: does yellow bring bad luck, is the light, the sun, a sign of wealth and prosperity…, or is it a sign of disease, does gold count as yellow, is yellow toxic? Is yellow toxic? Is it resistant to light or does it fade? Why does it seem that it does not cover?… all these questions will be answered through a series of works in which the color yellow predominates, and others that were yellow, but are no longer yellow.

Rocio Garin. Since she was very young, the artist Rocío Garín (1977) has enjoyed “drawing and painting”, an interest that led her to study at the School of Arts and Crafts in Algeciras and, later, at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Seville, where she graduated in 2001. She quickly began working as a restorer of some of the most significant monuments in Seville, as well as church façades in the capital of Seville.

Since her return to Estepona in 2002, she has been teaching drawing and painting, an activity that she combines with three aspects of her artistic facet: as a researcher, as an artist, and as a teacher, she has developed different teaching methods.

In 2013 she published a “Manual de Dibujo y Pintura” (Drawing and Painting Manual), in which she collects the main techniques and tools to take into account in the first year of students’ training.
