The Palacio de Lombillo, part of the Office of the Historian of the City of Havana, opened its doors this Friday, August 16, to host the exhibition In Search of Eudaimonia<\/strong>, a personal project by An\u00edbal de la Torre.<\/p>\n

For twenty years, the artist has immersed himself in creation, enveloping his strokes in a harmonious blend. On the exploratory path toward eudaimonia, An\u00edbal proposes tones with little variation, and the scent of oil and linseed oil is evident, showcasing his mastery of the spatula technique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flowers are the recurring theme, flowing through the artist’s hands as if produced by a machine that paints flowers, while simultaneously revisiting concepts and leaving textures in roses, camellias, chrysanthemums, and carnations, as noted in the exhibition catalog.<\/p>\n

All of this is an act of gratitude and dedication, not only to his ancestors but also to the deities that accompany him and to his family; flowers that, marked by time, appear faded, wilted, and grayish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These species exhibit expressionist traits with a touch of abstraction, speaking to the chimera of a well-lived life, rich in professional fulfillment, while the adopted tones narrate the vicissitudes in the search for eudaimonia, a concept rooted in ancient Greek philosophy that translates to living well or thriving.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is a journey that has involved much self-reflection to develop values and virtues that crystallize in the achievement of a goal. It represents a state of being that entails the pursuit of excellence and the realization of maximum potential. In each work resides the dedication, the search, and the transition toward eudaimonia.<\/p>\n
