    Reversión simbólica contemporánea del proceso de conquista y colonización, mediante la apropiación de un clásico de la pintura católica española
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-04-02) Torres Sisalima, Steven Daniel; Crespo Fajardo, José Luis
    The Conquest and Colonization, as historical events and processes, still impact a Latin America that continues fighting for the preservation of its many affected traditions, and reflecting on how the phenomenon could have turned out in the opposite direction. In this context, the work The Other Vision of San Antonio proposes to intervene in a classic Spanish painting of Catholic narrative, with Andean characters and worldviews through a symbolic and cultural reversal of the aforementioned processes. In this sense, contemporary pictorial expressions are developed that use, from the Latin American reality, the same appropriationism and syncretism handled at the time by the Catholic Church, in a culturally and artistically transgressive act. Based on The Vision of San Antonio de Padua, by the Spanish author Murillo, a ritual of the Aya is represented, with its Andean iconography and ideology; in a baroque setting achieved by the management of theatricality, color and lighting, to achieve a complex aesthetic experience that confronts hedonistic enjoyment and blasphemy or provocation in search of a historical reflection.
