Testimonio. Gino Ceccarelli. Arte magia realidad
Synopsis
Amazonia, Loreto, the mountains, the jungle—these are magical names that speak to us of a region where the wonder of the world established its boundaries thousands of years ago between reality and fantasy. My documentary is a testimonial about Gino Ceccarelli, a beloved son of the art of painting, creating works amidst myths, legends, utopias, lives, reveries, dreams, realities, and that effervescent and protean creativity that characterizes his extraordinary art—a blend of syncretism, aesthetics, philosophy, technique, content, and a synthesis of values, beliefs, and expression.
