About

Geraldina Whaley-Ewers, Atlanta, represents me in Georgia, and is at present placing Painted Mountain as a future museum exhibition in Georgia.
I will complete the paintings for Painted Mountain, just like I did with Corona Borealis for Embrace!, within a limited time frame, with preparatory work and drawings in April and May. I will return to Venezuela in June for the completion of the paintings in June, July and August, this year.
The purchase of Corona Borealis by the City of Växjö for the new town hall makes the new art project Painted Mountain possible
Thank You, Bo Frank, Mayor, Växjö for the purchase of Corona Borealis!
