The Estepona Town Hall informs that Room 1 of Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de las Flores, will host from March 27 the painting exhibition ‘El hilo rojo: Reflexiones al femenino’, by the artist Carla Bressan.

The pictorial exhibition, which consists of 20 works, will be inaugurated on the 27th at 18.00 hours, and can be visited until April 9. The opening hours are from Tuesday to Friday, from 09.00 to 20.00 hours, and on Saturdays, from 09.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 20.00 hours, with free access.

Carla Bressan was born in Italy and grew up in Venezuela, where she spent her youth. Since 2016 she lives in Chiclana de la Frontera, Cadiz. She works in the field of communication, marketing and European projects. She paints since she was a child, with inspiration and creativity. “It amuses me to transform the white of the canvas and paper into so many shapes of colors and shadows… a figure, a landscape, an object…, something that previously existed only in the corners of my mind and see how it slowly takes shape,” she indicates. She uses materials of various genres to create ‘mini installations’, reuses used canvases to give them “new dignity”, preserving part of their colors, the material or patterns of dresses to elaborate some of her works. She works in various media, all of them in mixed media.

She is particularly interested and concerned about two subjects: the environment and women. “I am inspired by and admire the difficulty of some of them, many times forced to follow social and cultural models that do not always value or empower them.”

She has a B.A. in Hispanic Literature and Fine Arts from the College of Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Master in Interdisciplinary Education at Cambridge College, Massachusetts, USA, she has done several workshops: in Italy, with the painter Marco Dolfi and in Cancun, with the visual artist Carmen Silvana Arcinega Cardoza, Instituto Quintanarroense de Cancun.

She has also participated in group exhibitions in several countries: Austria, Belgium, Spain, USA, Holland, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland.
