There is a special magic to works on paper; consider the fact that Leonardo Da Vinci only completed a dozen paintings. His true genius was displayed in the thousands of drawings he made. Villa Paula is dedicated to educating the novice collector about the various mediums and techniques associated with drawings. At the opening, many of the artists will be on hand to discuss their approaches and there will be a presentation by a conservator on the restoration of old master drawings. Guest Speakers: Jorge Hidalgo and Fidel Lopez will discuss art conservation, restoration and proper techniques of high quality framing.

It is a great honor to have my artworks displayed with some of the top Latin American artists. As a Nicaraguan artist the message for my art is clear and revolutionary as many artists such as Roberto Fabelo and Wilfredo Lam, who's works deal with a strong individual identity within revolutionary socities.
