Comments on: Art in Merida http://www.yucatanliving.com/art/art-in-merida.htm Online magazine about living, working and traveling in Merida and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

The moist, salt-laden air is very harsh on many things, and I cannot imagine it would treat oil paintings well. Why not use the trip as an opportunity to buy some local art for your walls? Every Sunday on Paseo de Montejo, local artists display their work for sale starting at about 10 in the morning until about 1 pm. It's a great way to meet some of them and pick up some art for your beach house that is more appropriate to the area. Cheryl,

I will have a home with a/c but the home will be open to the elements 75% of the time. I have alot of oil paintings. I have read that oils will not hold up in the humidity and heat. Does anyone know if this is correct. They are expensive pieces so I do not want to chance damage. I will be moving to Progreso this year.

Prmiatem felicitarle por la extensa información de arte que maneja. Le escribo porque a fin de Noviembre del 2009 viste Mérida y me gustó una pintura abstracta llamada “ALMA” que formó parte de una exposición presentada en el Teatro José Peón Contreras a fin de Noviembre. Desafortunadamente no recuerdo el nombre de la artista pero ella es de de tez morena y cabello negro, largo y ondulado. Una amiga va a Mérida a fin de año y me gustaría contactarla para comprar su pintura o alguna otra que me guste. Ojala puedan ayudarme. El otro pintor que busco es un varón, tampoco recuerdo su nombre pero su pintura aparecia en la portada de la revista de turismo del hotel y ya lo mencionaban como un pintor emergente reconocido. Localicé sus pinturas en una galeria del centro de Merida pero tampoco recuerdo. Yo se que es muy vaga la informacion que doy pero tal vez alguien con tanto conocimiento del arte y del medio artistico de Yucatan pueda ayudarme. Gracias por su tiempo.
