Rosario Heins's ‘search’ art

The sea and colors of the Colombian Caribbean are the main source of inspiration of the plastic artist Rosario Heins.

With more than 30 years of experience in the arts, the Barranquillera has always sought to expose its essence through the works that you do from what you see and live.

Rosario graduated as a plastic arts teacher at the School of Fine Arts of her hometown, but remember that before becoming a professional, she was already inspired by the same and knew how she wanted to focus her career to honor the culture of the Colombian Caribbean.

His first works were inspired by a "precious palenquera" called Marquesa, who daily selling fruits on the front of his house.

With a colorful basket on the head and a “captivating” smile, Rosario began drawing it every working day of Marquise and a group of Afro women, starting what would be his masterful work focused on the “search”.

“That work of the palenqueras began 40 years ago.I was one of the pioneers who wanted to pay tribute to these women that are the number one street vendors.I made many paintings from them, some pencil and others that included a color explosion, ”Rosario recalled.

Each work that the artist makes begins with the taking of a photo of what she wants to recreate and then makes her compositions.Therefore, after the outbreak of creativity he had with the palenqueras, the Barranquilla began to "walk" with her camera through the different beaches of Cartagena in search of something that "impact it" and then take it to the canvas.
