A Caribbean master, sculpture and painter: Enrique Grau

He is also the founders of this Museum of Modern Art. I am so happy to know him and see these extraordinary sculptures. He was born in Panama (1920-2004), yet he is accepted as an artist from Cartagena. Both in his sculptures and in his paintings you can see the women of Cartagena: strong, yet emotional. A girl listening to gramophone, a woman with her ‘robe de chambre’ holding a phone, a couple dancing valse, a fortune teller holding a tarot card; all real characters and real moments. His paintings get my attention as well, the faces of the women, and his auto portrait with a wig… He is another artist from Colombia that is recognised by the international art groups, with many exhibitions in world cities.
