Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic, a paint that adapts

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description
This little-known Roman deity, often confused with the goddess Athena, is a Roman warrior deity. She represents the power of Rome, she appears in the 3rd century BC on coins, in the form of sculpture and during games and festivals. On some coins, she is represented as a serene advisor and protector of the emperors in power. Roma also represents the sacred, universal and eternal character of the Roman Empire. On this canvas, we find different symbols of the Roman Empire such as the bird of Jupiter, emblem of imperial Rome, or the letters SPQR (Senatus - Populusque - Romanus) or: "The Senate and the Roman people" used to remind soldiers to whom they owed allegiance. On the armor, we find the phrase "Si vis pacem, para bellum" which means "if you want peace, prepare for war".
