PAINTER OF THE XVII CENTURY King David and the Prophet Gad Oil on canvas, 93x126.5 cm The painting depicts a biblical theme that is iconographically very rare in art. King David is kneeling with joined hands before an altar where he is burning a calf for the sacrifice ordered by the prophet Gad, who stands on the left. Overhead flies St. Michael the Archangel with a skull and sword. In the background is a city and many dead on the ground because of the punishment God inflicted on the Jews with the plague because of David's sins. The scene is taken from an engraving in the "Theatrum Biblicum" edited by Claes Jansz Visscher. Visscher published a series of illustrated Bibles, the most important of which was Theatrum Biblicum that was printed several times between 1639 and 1674. The book contained hundreds of plates that were originally being engraved by Gerard de Jode and other great Flemish masters in the sixteenth century, and which Visscher reprints. In particular, the print of Gad and David had been designed by Maerten de Vos.

"VILLASIERRA" MARIO VILLARROEL (Venezuela, 1970). "Fragile-yellow series", 2021. Resin. Signed on the metal base. Measurements: 70 x 24 x 28 cm. About this work the author commented "2020 was the year in which we broke, life changed us. This new series of works, "Fragile" show the scars that the pandemic has left on us. But at the same time they reflect how we have been able to put ourselves back together, to transform ourselves and become better human beings. These violins are different, stronger, better and each one of them is a unique piece of art" . Villasierra is the archetypal case of a self-taught artist who explored other fields before devoting himself to art full time. A lawyer by training, he also ventured into the world of motorcycles, making and customizing them, which became a new field of work where he explored his creativity and fostered his interest in mechanisms beyond their primary function. His artistic production began in the 1990s and since then he has produced a considerable body of work. Some of it demonstrates his interest in recycling, in giving a second chance and function to discarded objects. With this idea in mind, she goes on excursions to antique markets and accumulates an unimaginable treasure trove. From this approach and his love for music, musical instruments found a place in his work. A good example is one of his most acclaimed series, The Second Life, which he developed mainly between 2016-2018. Among the instruments used in this series are violins. Villasierra explained that the first was inspired by a political act of resistance in his native country. In 2017, a young violinist, Wuilly Arteaga, confronted the Venezuelan army, alone with his violin, during a revolt. This act of bravery moved Villasierra, who took an old violin and painted it in the colors of the flag as a tribute to the musician's bravery and as a wake-up call to what was happening in his country. To create these works he visits the music departments of public art schools and takes the discarded violins in exchange for new ones that he buys and donates to the schools. Thus, the old ones become part of his work, while the new ones he replaces in the hands of the children.
