## Zerpa un artista de la vieja escuela Esto no fue una entrevista, no teníamos guion, ni mucho menos cuestionario, fue una conversación de amigos y vecinos entorno al arte, degustando de una sabrosa pizza vegetariana: pimientos, aceitunas negras y champiñones, una delicia con sabor a mediterráneo, sin duda. ![IMG_8942.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/23uQthwk58Cw43ZU5Y1dEuzvefPA3jYh4WwinWFscgQrj6N1RZBKvse4MamE6kD6LSCTG.JPG) Luis Zerpa, es un artista plástico egresado de la Escuela Técnica de Artes Visuales Cristóbal Rojas, de Caracas, en Venezuela, sin nostalgia y con sonrisa en el rostro conversa que algunos de sus maestros fueron Mateo Manaure; el padre del abstraccionismo, trabajó con Sofía Ímber, fundadora del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, curó obras de Antonio Otazzo, ha sido docente universitario y se conoce las galerías nacionales de oriente a occidente ![IMG_8935.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/23u5vRRFx9pwNAhudqt4AiiYue3NsYNE4juXUC3jZYjTrStY8aenDWKamXtpMAxjRPb5R.JPG) Ya son más de 45 años haciéndo arte, una pasión más que un oficio, su casa es su galería, allí exhibe sus trabajos pero también los de amigos, de su hija, artista plástico también, y los de su fallecida esposa.
## Zerpa an old school artist This was not an interview, we had no script, much less a questionnaire, it was a conversation of friends and neighbors around art, tasting a tasty vegetarian pizza: peppers, black olives and mushrooms, a delight with a Mediterranean flavor, no doubt. ![IMG_8944.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/23vhwMWPT7iCYC7yUCU6Py8yByTwuFaSzF2vWoFaf6an51CeM2WC3Z6kz7icn6YqsDfaY.JPG) Luis Zerpa, is a plastic artist graduated from the Technical School of Visual Arts Cristobal Rojas, in Caracas, Venezuela, without nostalgia and with a smile on his face he says that some of his teachers were Mateo Manaure, the father of abstractionism, he worked with Sofia Imber, founder of the Museum of Contemporary Art, curated works by Antonio Otazzo, has been a university professor and knows the national galleries from east to west. ![IMG_8958.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/23vhnnxnPX8bEpCWCFyYKca3Rvrr8fZAccsSv7rcP5myM4sWVHb3HKi8chmFkr9EimKtB.JPG) He has been making art for more than 45 years, a passion more than a profession, his home is his gallery, where he exhibits his works but also those of his friends, his daughter, also a plastic artist, and those of his deceased wife.

## Lo que un artista toca se convierte en arte Debe ser una sensibilidad especial que posen las personas que hacen arte; que pintan, esculpen, tocan algún instrumento musical, Luis Zerpa lo confirma, su casa es distinta, se diferencia de las demás justamente por la estética en el jardín, las esculturas, la texturas, las paredes echas obras, en esta casa hasta las piedras tienen expresión.
## What an artist touches becomes art It must be a special sensibility that people who make art possess; who paint, sculpt, play a musical instrument, Luis Zerpa confirms it, his house is different, it is different from the others precisely because of the aesthetics in the garden, the sculptures, the textures, the walls made works, in this house even the stones have expression.

## El polémico arte de hoy Zerpa no ha dejado de inspirarse en la cotidianidad, utilizando elementos abstractos, lo que sería su visión subjetiva del entorno, en este punto a modo de satisfacer una curiosidad personal le pregunté su opinión respecto al arte que se exhibe hoy día, especialmente obras como Merda d'artista, del italiano Piero Manzoli y Comedian, de su compatriota Maurizio Cattelan, por ambos casos sonríe en todo de resignación, y aunque reconoce la sátira de ambas, no deja de pensar que es un exabrupto que las latas con excremento se hayan vendido en 275.000 dólares y que el cambur pegado a la pared con cinta plástica haya superado los 6, 5 millones de dólares.
## The controversial art of today Zerpa has not ceased to be inspired by everyday life, using abstract elements, which would be his subjective vision of the environment, at this point as a way to satisfy a personal curiosity I asked him his opinion about the art that is exhibited today, especially works like Merda d'artista, by the Italian Piero Manzoli and Comedian, by his compatriot Maurizio Cattelan, for both cases he smiled in resignation, and although he recognizes the satire of both, he does not stop thinking that it is an outrage that the cans with excrement have been sold for 275. 000 dollars and that the icicle taped to the wall with plastic tape has exceeded 6.5 million dollars.

## Mi top 3 de la colección de Zerpa Libertad, es una obra inconclusa de este artista en la que el movimiento se hace presente de forma muy marcada, a mi me inspira a seguir la marcha en busqueda de lo nuevo por conocer. ![IMG_8974[1].JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/23wC9hqgPmYbZDd6DpQhhxAAytddNVjrGWH15R9MUSA8qxo3GNsiat97U6ynBd4SyDYvM.JPG) Muchacha en la ventana, catalogada como una de las obras más bellas del mundo, tiene firma de Salvador Dalí, 1935, me explica que es una referencia artístca Para mi es un pedacito de paz en una pintura. Quien te ama, un paisaje rural de la Venezuela de principio de los años 80, cuando la electricidad emepezaba a ser instalada en los pueblos.
## My top 3 of the Zerpa's collection Liberty, is an unfinished work of this artist in which the movement is present in a very marked way, to me it inspires me to continue the march in search of the new to know. Girl at the window, catalogued as one of the most beautiful works in the world, has Salvador Dalí's signature. For me it is a little piece of peace in a painting. ![IMG_8967.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cocuyeras/242Nh7y2ezDjtovuAjkg3rJGnpaxBod7e89M2EBTd31hpMmGxfJqCW2ZafZwhj5bNHrnH.jpg) Quien te ama, a rural landscape of Venezuela in the early 80's, when electricity was just beginning to be installed in the villages.
