Abstract

PIOTROWSKI, Bogdan. Art is life and life is art; the painting of José del Carmen Hernández. Nómadas [online]. 2014, n.41, pp.225-235. ISSN 0121-7550.

This article presents the artistic work of José del Carmen Hernández, affirming that, in considering his painting we can talk about the art of life, and full artistic life. It highlights his courageous life path bringing him from humble peasant provenience to an academic artistic formation, also through artists' gatherings around the world. Examining his paints, sculptures, murals and abstract works one can watch the artist's relation with his own reality and hope as the engine of his work facing the confirmation of persistent violences.

Keywords : Colombian art; artistic formation; mural art; art of life; violence.
