The magic of color was taken by the ULS to convey a message of improvement, just as the name of the sample says.

The exhibition of the artist Rocío Rojas Santibáñez (Rocío Salvador) will be open until May 19, who exhibits ''Sanación'', a selection of works that brings together intuitive painting, visionary art, and a mandala universe with fabrics and dream catchers.

The invitation is to visit this bet that becomes the first exhibition of the artist who graduated from the School of Design of the U. de La Serena. The inauguration was held in the midst of mixed feelings and colors that strongly reflect the pain and overcoming a difficult process that Rocío Salvador wanted to express, after the loss of her first child, an experience that according to her guided her path. as an artist. 

''I am very grateful to participate in this exhibition and also with the intention of showing that art helps a lot to overcome difficult moments (...) I am using it to my advantage to get ahead, to explore my art, to recognize myself as an artist , because that's what I've dedicated most of my life to. With this particular experience, I think I grounded myself as an artist and I think it is what I have to do,'' said Rocío Salvador.

For the organization, the exhibition presents a very valuable message of self-improvement and art as an excellent therapy. ''It is a very interesting exhibition, starting from the name in which it expresses how art can contribute to the well-being of people, although they may seem like two very different things, I am certain that art can bring out all the healing expo 2sensitivity that people have and contribute to the fact that not-so-good moments can magically become something positive, as the artist said, in a work that transcends,'' emphasized the Director of Extension of the University of La Serena, Dr. Catalina Cvitanic. .

This exhibition will be open to the public in the ULS Exhibition Hall (Benavente 950) from Monday to Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 14:00 p.m. and from 15:30 p.m. to 18:00 p.m.

Constant support

The artist was accompanied at all times by her partner, who supported her in the different stages of the difficult process and at the opening of the exhibition. ''Personally, it is hard, constant work, effort and a sample of a painful experience for the artist Rocío Salvador and for me as her partner, so that people have an appreciation of how they can get ahead, both for the art on a therapeutic level, an artistic level and to leave a mark of what was fully experienced by the artist and also by me,'' said Emilio Contador.
