Espai d'Art Castejón in Dénia celebrates six years with Carme Jorques exhibition

Espai d'Art Castejón, located in the House of Culture in Dénia, commemorated its sixth anniversary this week with an event that coincided with the opening of a new pictorial exhibition.

The exhibition, titled 'De un tiempo, de un país', features works by artist Carme Jorques, from Xàtiva. Among the pieces on display are portraits dedicated to figures such as Ovidi Montllor and Isabel-Clara Simó, as well as a painting dedicated to the person in charge of the exhibition space.

During the event, Castejón wished to show his recognition to those who attended and, in particular, to the artist featured in the exhibition: «Thank you for joining me and taking part in this visual poetry».

For her part, Jorques highlighted the cultural heritage of the central Valencian regions and described some of her creations in this way: «very special dreams, they have a force and a very atavistic, very open attitude and they are the light of so many cultures».

The painter also used her speech to assert the value of investing in culture as a factor for development: «culture is not an expense, it is an investment», she said, and added that «all cities that invest in culture are more prosperous cities».
