Change language:
“Endless Forests of the Middle of the World” are well received in Hungary.
A dozen of hyperrealistic landscapes signed by the painter Servio Zapata adorned the Cervantes Institute of Budapest since 31 August, a space that hosts the exhibition of the renowned Ecuadorian artist, who has dazzled the audience with the incredible way in which he captures the nature that dwells in his mind.
“The landscapes that Zapata shows us today in Budapest live through him, and although they could well be from Ecuador, they can be from anywhere in the World, and it is that essence that makes him a universal painter, who is also an excellent human being,” said during the opening speech Ambassador José Luis Salazar Arrarte, host of the exhibition that is proposed as the first edition of cultural and artistic exchange between Ecuador and Hungary.
Javier Valdivieso, director of the Cervantes Institute, was also present at the inauguration, welcoming guests including curators, Hungarian and Latin American artists, diplomats, and the general public interested to know the dream maker Servio Zapata and his creations.
Zapata took advantage of his visit to Hungary to dedicate one of his landscapes to the memory of the most famous Hungarian footballer in history, Ferenc Puskás, through the painting “Puskás Paradise”.
