MISSIONS JESUIT

TALES OF TRAVEL - THE SEVEN ROADS

Swimming and flight like his figures without fear of the hands of Lucero roads and tracks lost, landscapes impossible in life, most landscapes suggested in the minds of clean, landscapes ensoñados emerged from walks unthinkable. Landscapes natural brain, virtual, sensitive and caring.


The nature and pure ancestral offered sincere in marriage with the means new century.

Seres live nearby and human distant who come, cherished and mundane. A fish can fly and a horse and man, the man who the artist is body and soul and it is family and friends, tradition and also what will come.


Cursed convention which sentenced the man not being able to fly. No flies perhaps by the weight of his body, the weight of lies and the fear of ballast, the weight of the doubt, the weight of the conventions and moral orders. But it is his soul and his mind free… ..... And his mind flies, flies and nothing .... and is so large, so magnanimous as the environment that he bathes.


Ocasos impossible and mixtures ensoñadas mass and architectures. Solemnes buildings, and nature which are bonds of cultures of the people, the mundane and the human, and human and the divine. Libreas Maker, nature is pure and precise nature that man has worked. But riddles are presences, solitudes ascéticas mysterious, brotherhoods.


Again I ensimismado be in this new trip that my friend gives me Lucero. Always investigate, always to front, always surprising and always in a straight line, always in plane straight upward iridescent, magical, crazy, and surprisingly calm. Again Lucero, it has succeeded.

Your path to the Truth will always guide your palette artist, whether physical or pigment virtual design.

You get masterly break the taboo that virtual worlds no good to dream with the works of artist.


Thanks, as always, for these gifts in the light and essence. Always friend

The Jesuit Missions Travel Stories - Three Roads / June 2005


Regrouping Of Symbols, Mysticism And ........... The Wholeness From Missions

The knowledge of the Jesuit mission, developed by missionaries through coexistence daily piloteando the goal of evangelization transmitted and disseminated through letters anuas, visiting successively places still standing of these missions, was the object of this Lucero artist Vilalba, who wanted direct experience of this review prepared by Catholic theology and the Aristotelian philosophers' tomistas the company at the time in Rome. In fact, contradictions, certainly, Lucero was launched in order to be present at these `transpositions that define a model unequivocal thought Jesuit brought to America. The artist was desmenuzando that reality once to produce a significant iconography of those times. All artwork allows accompany this vision of dynamism, construction, knowledge of human identities, from conceptual categories available from the Western culture. Lucero has contributed to its historical validity of travel can transform these developments, a new temporary space for coexistence. In his works features depend on two factors, firstly the need to demonstrate that the Indian had a subjective life, a soul, to substantiate the possibility of Christianization of the same, on the other hand their paintings show us that coexistence and the dramatic relations with the natives, which gives the language of his fantasy.

In the sixteenth century artist settles in the area of subjective knowledge and gives momentum to these social relationships, which are necessary tools for the utopia of evangelization. None of its investigation it is alien, scope, anthropological and psychological dimensions of the human experience, were marking the influences of his inspiration as regards theme. An important example of the dynamics by which the epistemological event of the Indian was being built through missionary work. At these planteos frame visions group Lucero is where I feel I can to converse with the natives, these children of God that thereafter, became Christians. It's imagining all these souls, made in the image and likeness of God, and all capable of the divine glory. The dynamic wins pictorial space with interesting celestial scenes, almost always there is a dynamic relationship between drawings and paintings representing nearly illusionist, subtle shades, structures engendered from the mystical and great mass organization. Lucero shows the Indian culture in his world, with remarkable significance attached to that word that will come as a prayer, as prayer and message, and that will change the man with the tools for their freedom.

The knowledge acquired by another direct experience here and explicitly privileged, as opposed to knowledge a priori determined by a preconceived cultural code, then proposes that reality 'which I imagine as an artist. We seem somewhat labyrinthine enter these iconographies, where some sing, eat another, others work the land, all the houses burning fire…… in those rituals whose actions lies in combining mobile and associate representations materials showing the timing of the elements beyond the disjunctions constituents thought civilized; nature, culture, animal, human, rational, irrational, subject, thinking. The confrontation between the artist and his vision evangelizing their mutual amansamiento symbolize reconciliation of European culture with the indigenous nature. Not by chance Lucero has chosen to experience those spaces, semidestruidos today, but on the contrary all its images respond to a domestic identification, which denotes what quantifiable its aesthetic experience, his personal experience, sensitive and pure quality of this encounter. Reactive confrontation of these cultures, totemic of indigenous people, faced with gradually symbols that vision cross, and invests in this fraternization spectacular, in those compacts solidarity of these missions, because we are counting orders that reconciliation between the antagonists , where access by matching their own means of creativity. This action painting, it means the new role magnificently interpretation of these crises, making other tempos, heard that civilization, magnetized by the elements of inaccessibility, and reactive cohesion collective imagination to offer a return to the days of original thought where these are discussed doctrines. It interpreter, actor and advocate with the cosmic vision of art, aesthetics and demonstrates consistency in capturing the full magic of these missions, requiring reformulated unabated for a spiritual evolution of mankind, the cornerstone remains the return of all These symbols.
