San Antonio pueblo de colores, representación de su identidad cultural a través de la pintura figurativa

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to raise awareness of the cultural and religious identity of the San Antonio Parish. This work seeks to highlight the values of the San Antonio Parish through figurative painting, promoting interest among locals and visitors alike in learning about the place. To showcase the importance of the San Antonio Parish, two paintings were created, reflecting various symbols of its religious and cultural identity. San Antonio has an identity that is currently less well known by locals and visitors alike, due to the lack of interest in disseminating it on the part of the current parish authorities. Through figurative painting, the project seeks to represent the essence of the town, visualizing aspects of the parish's identity. These are artistically displayed in two paintings: one with a religious theme portraying Saint Anthony, the patron saint of the parish, and another depicting aspect related to the election of the parish queen. In both the religious and cultural paintings, the main figures in the works are surrounded by elements specific to the place that identify its cultural and religious heritage. The aim of these two works is to pictorially represent the identity of the San Antonio parish, symbolically reflecting the various components that make this place attractive. Above all, these two works seek to generate awareness and reflection among its inhabitants so that both cultural and religious values are not lost and that future generations will preserve and promote them and feel proud to be residents of the San Antonio parish.
