Culture and Traditions at The Casona (Eng/Esp)

English version

Continuing my tour of La Casona, a cultural venue located across from the Basilica of Santa Inés, I visited the art gallery this time and noticed that many local artists have left their mark here. Both the grand hall and the main hallway feature paintings by various artists, ranging from landscape painters to surrealists.

Relief sculptures, avant-garde works, portraits, pointillism, charcoal drawings, Cubism—there’s a little bit of everything. It’s worth mentioning that the works are for sale, so the art isn’t just exhibited but also promoted, allowing it to reach new venues and cross borders.

Walking down the hallway of this colonial building reminded me of the Ramos Sucre House because it has a very similar internal layout, although here in the gardens there is an abundance of vegetation due to the exotic plants that are also grown here—and which, of course, are for sale.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the hallway is a painting of three girls, located in an old wooden foyer. The piece is very eye-catching because of its vibrant colors. Other interesting pieces include a retouched portrait depicting an indigenous person and a painting of what appears to be an African native.

At the back of this room is a spacious kitchen. This area, like the dining room, is used to teach the course on making chocolate, cocoa leaf tea, and Creole sweets. From here, the view is very pleasant; the inner courtyard is lush with greenery, and the vantage point offers a privileged view of this colonial house, which has been preserved just as it was in its heyday.

Continuando con el recorrido por La Casona, recinto cultural ubicado frente a la Basílica de Santa Inés, esta vez visité la galería de arte y observé que muchos artistas locales han dejado su huella acá. Tanto en el gran salón como en el pasillo principal se aprecian pinturas de diversos autores, desde paisajistas hasta surrealistas.

Obras con relieve, propuestas vanguardistas, retratos, puntillismo, carboncillo, cubismo, hay de todo un poco, cabe mencionar que las obras están a la venta, así que no solo se exhibe el arte sino que también se promueve, para que se pueda trasladar a otros escenarios y fronteras.

Caminar por el pasillo de esta construcción colonial me hizo recordar a la casa Ramos Sucre porque posee una estructura interna muy similar, aunque acá en los jardines hay exceso de vegetación debido a las plantas exóticas que también se cultivan acá y que por supuesto están a la venta.

Quizás lo más llamativo del pasillo sea una pintura de tres chicas, la cual se encuentra en un antiguo vestíbulo de madera. La pieza es muy vistosa por su colorido. Otras piezas interesantes la constituyen un retoque de un retrato que muestra a un indígena y un cuadro del que parece ser un aborigen africano.

En la parte trasera de este recinto se encuentra una amplia cocina. Esta área, al igual que la zona del comedor, es utilizada para dictar el curso de preparación del chocolate, el té de hojas de cacao y la dulcería criolla. Desde acá la vista es muy agradable, el patio interno es muy verde y la perspectiva nos ofrece una visión privilegiada de esta casa colonial que se conserva como en sus mejores tiempos.
