On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. the exhibition will be inaugurated, with free admission until full capacity.

Gloria Pérez Barroso (Avila) is a self-taught artist.

"I always liked to create and do or try a little bit of everything that I saw myself capable of doing with my hands.

Following the pandemic, I began to show my paintings on social media, which were very well received and encouraged me to exhibit. Starting in November 2021, my journey into painting began.

I am not a professional artist, I use it as a way of expressing my life.

I always think that things are not difficult to do, in my mind I am creating at every moment, always wanting to learn something new; the difficult thing is to face the real development, the blank canvas and I am constant in that, I try until I get what I am looking for; "if it were easy it would not be fun."

Creating my emotions, making them reach the viewer, a thousand and one interpretations for the eyes, the challenge of seeing and observing, that is my gift....

I never consider a painting finished and that is why I do not like to put a visible frame that delimits a space, I do not enclose it, it flies free and always ends in the eyes of the viewer, it lives in each look and that is when it takes shape and makes sense.

In each work there is a dream, an experience, a need to express a feeling, the power to generate an emotion."

"I dream that I paint and then I paint what I dream" (Vincent Van Gogh).

The Provincial Historical Archive of Avila is the institution responsible for the custody and conservation of the Documentary Heritage of this province. In this sense, in addition to collecting the documentation generated by the different administrations, it promotes the collection of private funds of different nature, photographic, literary, from companies, artists or creators that increase the knowledge and collective memory of the people of Ávila.

In addition to the description and identification of the Documentary Heritage it safeguards in order to provide documentation to citizens, researchers and administrations, it is necessary to make this Heritage known. In this context, activities are carried out to disseminate and exhibit the documentary collections, as well as guided tours and educational visits.

The archive is also a cultural institution, open to citizens and to all creators who wish to make their work or research known. In this sense, its facilities are made available for exhibitions, book presentations, conferences, etc.

As is the case of the exhibition Miradas by Gloria Pérez Barroso.
