The Centro de Arte Contemporáneo (CAC) Francisco Hernández de Vélez-Málaga has a new exhibition by famous Vélez artist Antonio Belda.

The central work in the exhibition is the large format triptych La Toma de Málaga, 1487 (The Taking of Malaga, 1487), a work created between 2002 and 2005, which represents the reconquest of Malaga by the Catholic Monarchs. The triptych is completed with two other canvases, Fuente del Parque, which shows a sculpture of a nymph with an ewer fountain, and Tuareg, which depicts a nomad on a horse.

The artist expressed the feelings he wants to convey with the main painting in the exhibition. "This is a work that is not about revenge or bad blood between good guys and bad guys, this is a work of friendship, where both King Ferdinand's side and the Muslims represent the best of the people and the two cultures. This is a painting for encounter, it is not a painting of division," he explained.
