BERTANIA, BERTA -OR- BERTA: the universe of Berta Paco
The Altaïr bookstore is hosting a meeting to remember the artist and present the book that explores his artistic and vital outlook.
Berta Paco (Barcelona, 1985-2020), graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, was a painter and sculptor with an intense and vital work that explored both the small and the large aspects of the human condition, with special attention to the experience of women. She painted, traveled and always reflected with the strength that characterized her. Her artistic journey took her to London and several African countries, where she observed the world with her own eyes and transformed it into color and form.
Now, this entire universe is gathered in a meeting that will take place on Saturday , April 26 at 4:30 p.m. at the Altaïr bookstore in Barcelona , where they will talk about her figure and the book that gives a personal vision of her: BERTANIA, BERTA -O- BERTA, published by El Cep i la Nansa . The work addresses her premature death from the sensitivity of the poet Jorge Rodríguez Hidalgo .
The presentation will feature the participation of people who knew Berta up close or who have delved into her universe from different fields. Speakers will include Lourdes Cirlot , Doctor in Art History, Emeritus Professor at the University of Barcelona and specialist in Contemporary Art; Mercè Alegre , art therapist, plastic artist, writer and educator; Vinyet Panyella , writer, cultural manager and exhibition curator; Quico Mestres , director of the El Cep i la Nansa publishing house; Jorge Rodríguez Hidalgo , author of the poetry collection, and Anna Colom , musician, singer, composer and arranger.
