LOGROÑO, March 31. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This Thursday an artistic exhibition was inaugurated in Logroño that invites us to investigate the human processes that we live after experiences of intense emotional crises, those that are difficult to live with. Deep pain, fear, anger, sadness, emptiness, loneliness, hope, reconstruction, healing and growth are expressed through art in ‘The wounds that have made me grow’, by Patricia San José Torga.
Watercolors, acrylics, written reflections, poetry, music. Each work connects us with our own wounds through the artist’s wounds, and also opens and shows us the path of healing through her journey, the elaboration of her own personal healing process.
The The exhibition can be visited at the Caja Rioja Foundation Center (Gran Vía, 2) from March 31 to April 21, Monday to Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.. Thanks to the generosity of the artist, the works can be purchased and the money raised will be used to maintain the different emotional health care projects that the Telephone of Hope is developing in La Rioja.
The inauguration held this Thursday was attended by the Mayor of Logroño, Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza, the Minister of Health, María Somalo and the Minister of Social Services, Pablo Rubio Medrano, among other personalities.
Together with the artist Patricia San José Torga and the president of the Telephone of Hope, Magdalena Pérez Trenado, they enjoyed a visit to the exhibition and a colloquium talk about the personal and creative process that begins with the recognition of the emotional wound to become a path of healing and growth.
This artistic and solidarity project is the action chosen this year by the Telephone of Hope of La Rioja to celebrate Listening Day (March 27): a day in which we focus attention on the importance of listening in communication , which is a key aspect for healthy personal growth and development.
In the words of the artist, “for me it is a luxury to have found on my way the team of people and professionals who support the Telephone of Hope of La Rioja and I firmly believe in their work: emotional health care”.
“This -he adds- is one of the pillars of my life and it is the task that I have been doing more intensely for two years: facing my emotions with courage and responsibility and trying to heal and grow as a person”.
She emphasizes that “I also believe that art is a means of expression as valid and powerful as others, I have used it since I was a child to understand my feelings, my emotions and thoughts, and also as a way of relating to the world.”
Therefore, “each work in the exhibition is a stop on my personal journey, I have decided to donate the pieces because I already keep learning on a personal level inside me like a treasure and I want to reach other hearts to give breath of hope in processes of intense emotional crises.
He emphasizes that “if this also reverts in some way to the Telephone of Hope to spread and continue working on knowledge and personal growth, then much better.”
With this exhibition, the author wants to convey that “sometimes life can put us in complicated and difficult situations, the kind that break us inside, that we can ask for help, that listening is a way of providing company and shelter and that it is our responsibility to take charge of our personal processes”.
“Discovering our strengths and weaknesses is a unique and incredible journey and the reward is enormous, it’s worth it. Art (in all its disciplines), where it touches, dissolves and is a very powerful engine to find ourselves, get to know ourselves and express ourselves
The Telephone of Hope is a clear, safe and very professional example of everything I say,” he says.
And regarding the title of the exhibition, he explains that “we are talking about intense processes, emotional crises and varied concepts that are increasingly present in society”.
He reports that “I have discovered that they are emotions that hurt me inside like a wound and to heal them, just like physical wounds, I have needed to clean a lot, sew and wait to heal them.”
“Sometimes they reopen, bleed and hurt again but the commitment to myself and my life has put me back to work. These wounds, over time, teach you that we are more capable than we imagine , that we can fill ourselves with resources to transform our outlook on life and without wanting-wanting, we grow”, he concludes.
