Experiential Painting by Eva Montealegre: Eva will begin with a near-naked canvas with only its “under-painting” and create an experiential painting. This is the recipe she uses for all her paintings. Eva’s organic spiritual connection is always present as a through-line in her ingenious artistic expression.
Springing from the foundation of the artist’s personal experience there is a harmonious community with the Medicine Dance Members which will continue to take root. To this already potent recipe we will be adding the spice of the lively sounds of Sangomabeat. In this multi-dimensional creative environment Eva will paint. The combination of artist, paint, canvas & the alchemical potion of audience, dancers & musicians is a venue for connoisseurs of artistic ambience.
Please come with an open heart & mind with no pre-conception but merely the willingness to discover what this might mean. If the flavor of the creative dish is right, audience members will be invited to participate in the movement. Don’t miss it!
