Bolivar Condor Photo

Photographer’s Note

At the Plaza Bolivar in the city of Manizales, is this sculptural monument ...

It was designed and made by master Rodrigo Arenas Betancourt. It is a monument that has enormous courage and strong enough to become a symbol of the greatness and spirit of the great liberator of nations 5: Simón Bolívar.

In the artist's work, you can feel the authenticity and the creative genius of the master. The elements of the work: MAN - CONDOR - MASK, get together to display the contents and spiritual hero sublime, joining the body of the man who embodies the freedom bird that dominates the Andes, "Condor".

This book goes beyond the historical tradition or coldness static traditional monuments, was conducted among 1,985 to 1,986 years, is made in bronze and concrete and measured 18 metres high.

Buenos días John,
Qué fuerte obra, altamente simbólica realizada por un artista al nombre conocido por la reciente actualidad. Excelente perspectiva y colores un poco dramático. Bonito trabajo.
Pasa un buen día

The sculpture is very surreal, and you have captured it in excellent detail with the contrast emphasising its form. The radio mast spoils the image a bit; it's fairly monotone, which works well except for that. I'm sure you explored different viewpoints.

Hola John,
a pesar del día gris conseguiste un buen nivel en la exposición.
Esta escultura es impresionante, y le has sacado mucho partido con este contrapicado hacia el cielo, y con la inclusión en el encuadre de la arquitectura que la rodea, cuyas líneas fugando en una elegante perspectiva añaden mucho dinamismo a la imagen.
Me gusta, es una composición creativa y tiene fuerza gráfica.
Bien hecha, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola John,
Es una compo muy interesante, tanto por mostrar bien la obra del escultor, pero también por el grafismo producido por la estatua, su gran pedestal y los dos predios del fondo. No sé se la inclinación hace a izquierda es intencional, pero de echo parece acentuar el dramatismo que emana de la escultura, para lo que también contribuye el gris del cielo y del día. Quizás preferirá que hubiese mas detalles en las partes oscuras de la estatua.
Un abrazo, José.
