The Assembly of Extremadura is hosting an exhibition by the Mérida-born artist Francisco Miranda until the end of June, which brings together a selection of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits inspired by the essence and traditions of the community.
Under the title "My land, my people," the exhibition offers the visitor an intimate vision of Extremaduran identity through a collection of works created by Miranda in a self-taught manner.
Each of the pieces demonstrates the painter's connection with his land, its customs, and its inhabitants, serving as a visual tribute to the region's cultural and human heritage, as highlighted by the regional Chamber in a press release.
Various authorities participated in the inauguration, including the mayor of Mérida, Antonio Rodríguez Osuna, and the president of the Assembly of Extremadura, Manuel Naharro, who emphasized the artistic and emotional dimension of the exhibition in his speech.
Naharro pointed out that the works allow for a rediscovery of the autonomous community's richness from a "close" and "authentic" perspective, and stated that "each work reminds us that Extremadura is not only inhabited, but also felt."
With this exhibition, the Assembly reinforces its commitment to the promotion and dissemination of Extremaduran culture, making its facilities available to creators who help enhance the region's identity and talent.
