This is the second consecutive week a member of the WJU men s team was chosen for the honor. The artistic works of artist Rev. Mariano Alique, S. J. will be on display this weekend at the CET's Discovery Center. Born in Spain in 1926, Alique is currently a resident of La Paz, Bolivia and has shown his works at art exhibitions throughout the United States, South America, Germany, Spain, Austria and other countries. Immersed in mystery, possessing qualities of that which gave it existence in a state of constant, active permanence, we can all hear nature's cries. I like to show two extremes.
Beauty overflows from the green depths of the sea to the high plains of the mountain tops at sunset.
Some of Alique's paintings show intricate scenes of coral and the hidden depths of the ocean. Others show effects of nature and storms or natural changes that take place in the environment. All of his works are known to exhibit an expert use of color. It shows not what we see with our eyes, but instead what we feel. Alique believes that painting is a force that motivates him to express all that God created allowing him to create what no eyes can see, but what is visible to our minds and hearts.
