SPIRAL EXHIBITION - 2014 | Tokyo- Embassy of Spain

  In Embassy of Spain in Tokyo ( July 22~ July 31)

On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Spanish-Japanese relations in 2014 various cultural events are held to commemorate this year.



And how, by selecting different artists, writers, photographers who represent this historic event. This is the case of Sonia G Caballero, considered one of the greatest exponents of art in this Hispanic-Japanese fusion. 




The various technical arts used, Japanese fine art in fusion with traditional European classics, have given her work a unique and genuine character. 

In Sonia G Caballero's work there is something unique, a very personal fusion between Eastern and Western techniques and materials as well as the approach to a wide variety of styles from a self-taught and free experience. This is something that can be appreciated in her seven collections, from the very Japanese like the Sumi collection, based on the technique of lacquer like the Platinum collection and materials such as platinum and gold, or those more western like the oil on canvas works.

On July 22nd, the opening of the Spiral Exhibition took place at the Exhibition Hall of the Spanish Embassy in Tokyo. Presided by Santiago Herero Amigo Cultural Counselor of the Embassy of Spain in Japan who opened the exhibition along with Javier Sanchez de Leon Delgado of the Cultural Section and of course by our protagonist artist Sonia G Caballero.  About 150 people were invited to the event and were able to enjoy the works of Sonia G Caballero and taste Spanish gastronomic products.
