Milagros Rahal was selected to participate in our Seedbed 2023 programme, which gives young and emerging local artists the opportunity to exhibit their work. Milagros is a second year student of the Visual Arts degree at UMSA who is developing her path in realistic oil painting, carrying out all kinds of works.
ABOUT THE WORK
Tren Mitre is a work in which the artist, beyond wanting to demonstrate her ability to perform realism on a small sheet of paper, seeks to make the viewer reflect. Why did the artist decide to create this work? Is it a simple painting of a train? Who are the people in the scene? Why did she decide to paint them? Where are they going? Where are they returning from? How are they affected by the pandemic? Today, very few people stop to admire more than the technical skill in the work. A simple train scene can mean much more than that.
