Hace tiempo pensaba hacer una panorámica de la pintura uruguaya; basta buscar un poco en la red para darse cuenta de que no es un tema muy frecuente, aunque hay bastantes exponentes que me merecen atención. Haré aquí mi colaboración a la difusión de los aspectos artísticos de la cultura de mi tierra de origen. Iré alternando los clásicos y los no tanto; los archiconocidos y los menos.
Since long time ago I planned to do an overview of the Uruguayan painting. A quick search on the net is enough to realize that it is not a very common subject, although there are great exponents that deserve attention. I'll do here my contribution to the dissemination of the artistic aspects of the culture of my homeland. I'll alternating the classics and the new ones; the best known and the less.
