Zenobia Galar

[1] She is considered an important canvas artist in the Dominican Republic, and her works are part of multiple private collections in her country and abroad.

[1] Galar has served as a board member of the Dominican College of Plastic Artists,[2] and was a painting teacher in its beginnings at educational institutions, as well as in its Painting Workshop, where she is still an instructor for both children and adults.

Still lifes particularly held our attention, because, at the turn of this century, when everything seems to have been said, from the refined subtlety of classicism to the latest passion for the subject in Cubism, a young painter believes that she has the right to speak.

Her temperament makes her dismiss the minute accuracy learned in the academy, but neither does she indulge in a pleasant decorative interpretation or a flirtation with abstraction.

Zenobia Galar reconstructs her models (real, imaginary) from a reality revised by her own sensitivity and fantasy, with an inclination towards neo-cubist two-dimensionality.
