The Sala 3000 hosts the temporary exhibition ‘El tren de la vida’ by the Aragonese artist Jesús Cerro Casado. The show, open to the public from today, consists of 22 works belonging to a collection begun in 2005 and dedicated to the railway world.
Through oil and acrylic, the artist recreates stations, locomotives, platforms and landscapes from various points of the Spanish railway network, from the Canfranc International Station (Huesca) to different stations in the region of Murcia. His painting, of figurative and realist roots, stands out for its careful treatment of light, colour and composition, elements with which he transforms everyday scenes into images charged with emotion and memory.
Cerro Casado's works offer an evocative and nostalgic vision of the railway, understood not only as a means of transport but also as a setting for experiences and memories.
