A striking exhibitions of Alejandro Rivera's paintings at the Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende

I recently just returned from spending a few weeks in San Miguel de Allende and the Bellas Artes had two phenomenal exhibitions.  One was by a Mexican artist, Alejandro Rivera.  Interesting that twenty years ago he took his first painting class at this exact institution!
His paintings revolve around the harmony between the body and nature. 
  Versus 
 Even thou this represents two sides opposing each other, I find a sense of tranquility in this painting, OK, except for the two masks.
A great gallery for Rivera's exhibition.
 La Memoria Perpetua - The Perpetual Memory

 Sueno Dentro de un Sueno - Dream within a Dream
A real labyrinthine, pulling you into another world.

 La Pequena Flora - The Small Flower

 El Rapto de Europa - The Kidnap of Europe

 Idolo Guardian - The Idol Guardian

 La Leccion de Anatomia - The Anatomy Lesson
Great painting.  
Wonderful exhibition.
