Artist Cesar Prada
Galicia, Spain, 1951
Prada was born in a landmark street, "A Barreira", the old city of Ourense (or Auria). At first, one should emphasize family circumstances: one grows up in a family of modest and very numerous. I say modest in the sense that it is necessary to earn the daily bread. The very large is a simple evidence, Cesar Prada is the third son of a total of nine children. Do not forget also that the fifties are dark and battered economy for almost all Ourense. But the future painter and sculptor (now in the prime artistic coming of age) is a restless, maverick, who feels a deep curiosity before any new experience. For the irresistible call of the horizon of dreams, to plunge into the adventure of the unknown, the adventure of living. Therefore, it is risky not imagine on the streets, at home, in the Garden of Posío exciting learning and assimilating the lesson of life. Ultimately learning the lesson of Scherezade, ie ,save the life with the help of art survive the squalor, mediocrity and narrowness of each destination threatening. For Prada, save the life drawing, sculpting or painting spotted in the mirror images of dreams and fantasies.
