The Museum of the Roman Theatre in Cartagena has been extended to July guided tours to the temporary exhibition Theatrvm, Salvador Torres, visits will take place on Thursday at 19.00 hours visits.

The Cartagena artist Salvador Torres has a degree in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

His work is halfway between pop and lyrical figuration, and puts us in a plastic narration between fiction and reality, a work in which each frame transmitted from the biographical reflection and dreamlike.

In Theatrvm the artist presents his new oil paintings inspired by the Roman theater, which becomes the place that contains more truth of all possible scenarios.

In his works it reflects all that is possible within this space, while outside its walls what we consider real can prove to be false.

The exhibition presents some scenarios populated by peacocks, bird nests, nests of wisdom, Roman dice, gambling, theatrical masks, still life and apples, out of scale in different cities, as an extraordinary phenomenon that transcends the local.

In the same plane can be dawn and dusk or succession sequences.

For this he uses a chromatic clarity and overall lightness of tone.

The Roman author and private mythology intermingle but in different episodes of physical location of the Roman theater in Cartagena, either being hidden or recovered, and trying to give an overview of the moments in your environment.

There are references to the passage of time with hourglasses and the coming and going of people over the years, tourists and residents, all unaware of the theater after all actors, but also representations of the desire to know, appearances archaeologists, restorers and technicians with the knowledge to want to rescue this culture.

These characters share scenes with peacocks and birds of paradise, symbols of spiritual rebirth and immortality.

All these elements are associated in Theatrvm to show that through the work of archaeological recovery space, their living environment and the immortal soul is rescued what was, it is and will be that building.
