On Thursday the 5th of August the Altos de Chavon Cultural Center Foundation celebrated the inauguration of their new art exhibit ‘Virgenes del Trópico.’ The exhibiting artist is Carlos Santiago, a young artist from Puerto Rico, who was present at the opening welcoming Casa de Campo’s many art aficionados and was only to happy to greet everyone and talk about his art work. The 20 oil paintings all had the iconic ‘Madonna’ symbol as their focus, whilst the figure of Madonna is often seen as religious the paintings do not have a strong religious feel – they are brightly coloured with striking bold images.
