We are so thrilled! Today we’ve had a very inspiring
talk with an artist from Ourense that we all admire, Rafael Cachaldora. You may well remember
that we sent 5 postcards featuring some of his colourful and unique
representations of various emblematic places in Ourense.
On the occasion of our school’s Third Book Festival,
Rafael was invited to give a talk on his artistic production, which is not only
limited to digital representations of Ourense but includes fascinating abstract
paintings that evoke the prehistoric art of our earliest ancestors.
Cachaldora has told us many interesting things about his
sources of inspiration, the evolution of his artistic career, his techniques
and workshop, his exhibitions worldwide and, very importantly, about the need
to be true to one's passion.
He was very kind to bring us a book of his 2014 exhibition in the Museo Provincial de Ourense, which includes a very special
signed dedication:
Our ESO 4 and Baccalaureate 1 students created a piece
inspired in Cachaldora’s style and have given it to the artist after the talk.
He very kindly signed postcards to all the students and a even dedicated one to
our project!
Thanks a million, Rafael! We love your art!!

It was such a pleasure to have him with us! Our students love the talk and they are looking forward to having him again with us for a workshop! Thanks a million, Rafael Cachaldora!
