Francisco Valverde, one of the winners of the Tamayo Biennal explores the subject, experience and movement with his work.
"I'm not saying 'no' to conceptual art at all. I say'no' to the phobia of painting, to those who think that, because it is painting, then no. From the outset, I believe that true art is a concept. And I see two extreme positions: those who believe there should be no painting because it si not a current discourse, and thiose who believe that only the old is worth it.
This is how the painter Francisco Valverde speaks, who with the piece "Monday afternoon" became one of the three winners of the XVII Rufino Tamayo Painting Biennal.
