MEDINA’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES GATHER ON WALLS OF AIRPORT

(WEST PALM BEACH, FL) Columbian artist Victoria Medina will present her collection of Indigenous Peoples, drawings and painting that explore "Spirits of Earth," from October 23 to January 20, at the Regional Artist’s Gallery inside the Palm Beach International Airport.

A native of Medellin, Columbia, Medina left her pursuit of an education in business administration to devote her life to art. Medina’s quest took her to Panama where she focused on anthropology, art and philosophy. A chance encounter in Panama with a young Cuna Indian, "whose face and eyes expressed serenity and wisdom from her ancestors," moved Medina to create a series of paintings and drawings that draw upon her perception of those who "celebrate life." Medina painted the portrait but felt the finished painting was incomplete. It was then that Medina had the revelation to paint the young girl in her native land, and transferred the girl to another dimension and landscape bringing her back to the "spirit of the land." Today, Medina works out of her studio in Boca Raton, painting and drawing culturally diverse subjects transferred back among their landscaped legacies, a collection she calls Indigenous Peoples.

Medina’s work has been exhibited throughout South Florida and is part of the permanent collection of art at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

The Palm Beach County Cultural Council coordinates a wide variety of visual arts presentations throughout the year to bring new and exciting art to public areas. The exhibits are scheduled and maintained at the Palm Beach International Airports Rotating Artists Gallery. The gallery is a cooperative effort between the cultural and business community in Palm Beach County. The Gallery is located at the west end of Level 2 in the airport terminal.
