“7 Artistas Internacionales en Aran”, exhibition in Arties
“7 Artistas Internacionales en Aran” brings together fifty paintings by seven renowned contemporary artists of African, French and Spanish origin, who met at the exhibition Rendez-vous d’ Artistes in Negresco (Nice, 2016). Organized by the Musèu d’ Aran (Conselh Generau d’ Aran) with the support of the Institut d’ Estudis Ilerdencs (Diputació de Lleida), the exhibition is exhibited in the exhibition hall of the Church of Sant Joan d’ Arties from 3 February to 3 March, Monday to Saturday from 5pm to 8pm.
With diverse influences and styles, these contemporary artists share the common denominator of figurative painting, made with great mastery of forms and familiar themes for all types of public. Seduced by the Aranese territory, many oft their works have been created for this exhibition.
The painters
Stefan Rossouw, born in Namibia, is a master of drawing and backlighting, clearly influenced by Caravaggio. Stéphane Salle, a doctor and emerging painter, knows the human anatomy perfectly and shows this in his works on classical themes. They also focus their attention on the human figure, Jean-Jacques Dumur, Miguel Francisco García-Díez and Christiane Loze, who go beyond the physical plane to delve deeper into the soul states and the unconscious. On the other hand, Anne-Marie Teisseire is interested in nature, with delicacy and great mastery of colours. Finally, Joan Vilarrubias is a hyperrealist painter capable of overcoming all the details that a photograph could show.

The consellera of Tourism said that 100% of the tourist facilities of Valle de Aran have been enjoyed.

Despite changing weather conditions, all skiable kilometres and ski lifts have been available for most of the holidays in the Val d’ Aran ski resort. Baqueira Beret has remained open every holiday day with an average of 130 km skiable and practically all lifts in operation. This has allowed the close to 150,000 skiers who have visited the resort between 25 December and 7 January to spread smoothly over the ski area in the three zones: Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua.
The free 7 km long cross-country ski circuit of Beret, the snowpark, which was reconstructed after the heavy snowfalls of 27 and 28 December and the Funpark, a children’s trail in the Clot Der Os de Beret area, were also open during the holidays.
Good prospects
As for the forecasts for the rest of the season, Anna Díaz, said that “if there are snow thicknesses -our main tourist resource in winter- and Baqueira Beret can offer the activity in full conditions, the establishments of Val d’ Aran will be able to work well”.
