Casa de Campo, oil painting by Clina Polloni, Chile

Adobe House, Cary, Chile, Clina Polloni, Hispanic Culture, North Carolina, Painting Classes

“Casa de Campo”, oil painting by Clina Polloni. This is a painting of an adobe house in the central region of Chile. 24”x30”

Casa de Campo. Chile in the 1800’s

Once I had a farm in the beautiful Valley of Rabones, in the central region of Chile, is called “Region del Maule”. This farm had a few adobe homes more than a 100 years old, so we started restoring these beautiful structures. Walls of about one meter wide, framed with hard wood carved from old trees. It must be fascinating the history that this walls could tell about the people that once lived here.

How to built an adobe house: Adobe is mud brick, made with mud and straw. A pit is dug, and into the pit goes the dirt, together with water, churned into a thick mud. Then straw is added, and stomping mixed the straw into the mud. A mold, usually made of wood, is the basis for making adobe bricks. The mold is packed firmly with the wet adobe mix, then removed. The bricks are dry often for several days, in a shaded area if possible. If they dried in the direct sun they would often split or crack. Once the bricks are dry, construction began. On the outside, the house is usually coated with a thin wash of the same clay the adobe was made from, and when that dried it is whitewashed with cal. Adobe houses, with their very thick walls and whitewashed exteriors, are cool in the summer. The roof is made with “Tejas”, molded clay, supported with wood, carved from the local trees.

Commissioned Oil Pet Portraits by Clina Polloni.

The essence of painting a pet portrait is the expression of the eyes. Eyes that express love for their family, always content and always ready to wag their tails. When I start painting a pet, I talk to their owners, I like to know all about their personalities.

Let me paint a portrait of your pet in lively and colorful oil paintings. All I require from you is a good digital photograph to work from.

The Market Girl, Oil painting of Hispanic Culture.

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, flowers, Franklinton, Hispanic Culture, NC, Painting Classes, Painting of Ecuador, Raleigh, Wake Forest

18”x24” by Clina Polloni.

The Market Girl. In the Hispanic culture it is a tradition to go to the market, where the local people brings their fresh fruits, vegetables and craft. This girl is proud to show her flowers and vegetables with her colorful hand netted ponchos in the back.

I did this painting when I went to Ecuador. Inspired by their colorful art and culture, very similar to most of the countries in South America. People live in the cosmopolitan cities surrounded by malls and a variety of today modern stores. But the beautiful thing is that they are trying to preserve their culture.

This painting was exhibited at the Franklin County Art Council, NC. For the 2018 5 de Mayo Celebration of the Hispanic Culture.

Clina Polloni is a contemporary artist born in Chile, winner of the Franklin County Art Council, NC. 2017 Artist Award. Her oil paintings are inspired by her love for people, animals and nature. Her new project: “The motif of the human figure in a dialogue with natures light and colors.” In these new paintings she is portraying people in their environment and activities, representing the American and Hispanic Culture.

The Fishermen, Oil Painting of Constitución, Chile

Chile, Clina Polloni, Constitución, Oil paintings

“The Fishermen”

Oil Painting by Clina Polloni
24”x36”

“The Fishermen”, this painting was done in the beautiful fishing town of Constitución, Chile. Based on a painting that my great-grandfather did in 1913. Bright and changing colors of the sunset, the fishermen were coming back with their rich catch on a summer evening after a day at the sea.

Who could imagine that almost a hundred years after, this village was going to be destroyed by the fury of the waters, an earthquake and tsunami that killed 350 people in Constitución, Chile. March 1, 2010.

Antonio Polloni, My Great Grandfather.

He was a talented Chilean Artist. He painted with oils winning many prices for his art. In 1920 he received the 1st National Award for his self portrait “El Pobre Diablo” (“The Pour Devil”). He was also a very well known Chilean photographer, commissioned by the Chilean Navy, traveling through the Chilean territory taking panoramic photos, unifying his photos one by one in his laboratory creating a horizontal photo of the landscape.
