The II
solidarity arts auction of Centro Ann Sullivan Del Perú called
DES-BORDES x1 staged on Wednesday, June 17th
in the evening in the Art Gallery of Cultural Center “El Olivar” in San Isidro,
was considered a complete success.
DES-BORDES x1 sold 14 works of arts
donated by well-known Peruvian plastics artists, and paintings of our student
Salvador Velarde. The proceeds in this II solidarity arts auction will finance
the scholarship of our students with limited resources, so they can continue
their training and integration in society, as well as becoming independent,
productive and happy.
Salvador’s big night
DES-BORDES x1 also
became the platform to meet new artists. Because of this opportunity, our 17-
year-old painter, Salvador Velarde, was able to exhibit and auction his
work. He is a born artist of unique and
genuine art. Despite his young age, he paints his experiences in different
formats. In this auction, he made available for sale three of
his works which were sold with great success.
“I feel very happy, I cannot believe it, it is a
very important moment for me. My works are my escape. When I was sad, I found
shelter in my paintings so I could be better.
I thank everybody, especially the Centro Ann Sullivan for this great opportunity”
stated our young student.
“My paintings show everything I have felt in crutial and shocking
moments. Before I start drawing with a pencil and a brush, I don’t necessarily have
a portrayed figure on my mind; I do not always paint what I had in mind, but my
memories and feelings lead me to paint the whole painting, and eventually, this
represents me completely. Perhaps most people see the meaning in a very common
way, but for me… it is much more than a painting”, indicated Salvador Velarde.
