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
“Ubuntu, prononcé [ùbúntú], est un concept africain traditionnel. Le mot ubuntu vient des langues zoulou et xhola et peut être traduit approximativement par “humanité envers les autres”.L’ubuntu incarne toutes les vertus qui maintiennent l’harmonie et l’esprit de partage entre les membres d’une société. Il implique une appréciation des croyances traditionnelles et une conscience constante du fait que les actions d’un individu aujourd’hui sont le reflet du passé et auront des conséquences importantes pour l’avenir.Une personne qui possède l’ubuntu connaît sa place dans l’univers et est par conséquent capable d’interagir gracieusement avec d’autres individus. L’un des aspects de l’ubuntu est que, à tout moment, l’individu représente effectivement le peuple dont il est issu et s’efforce donc de se comporter selon les normes les plus élevées et d’afficher les vertus défendues par sa société.”
