Galeria Contempo Announces Cathy Chalvignac Opening Reception

Galeria Contempo warmly invites you to meet Cathy Chalvignac on Friday, March 4, at an opening reception of her most recent works, to take place from 6 to 10 pm.

A Parisian by birth and a resident Mexican by choice she spent her formative years in Canada, where she developed a heart connection to Native American Indians. After art school she became passionate about photography, which she put to good use during several years of extensive travel. “These trips were a huge revelation for me, from seeing and meeting the locals, to observing their culture, their humility, and the beauty and light within.”

With nothing rigid about her art or the way she thinks, it’s no small wonder that it would ultimately be a vibrantly colorful country like Mexico that best resonated with her soul- and to this day she maintains a fascination with the Mayan culture. Painting the ethnic groups that she has fallen in love with as authentically as she can, she tries “to capture their inner silence their humility and wisdom.”

Galeria Contempo is located at Basilio Badillo 252 in Colonia Emiliano Zapata. For more information, please click here.
