≈ Comments Off on Casa de Campo, oil painting by Clina Polloni, Chile
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.

18”x24” by Clina Polloni.
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.

In the early years of Chile, even in the 1800’s, farmers planted their wheat in the fields. This was one of their most important source of food. They baked their bread in an open fire, prepared mote con huesillos and other culinary dishes. And when the harvest was all over, they built their thatched houses with straw.
I did this painting from a sketch that my great grandfather, Antonio Polloni did when traveling and painting the country side of Chile in the 1800’s.

Clina Polloni conversed to students about her paintings and life experiences in the development of the Arts. Dr. Anderson explained ” We believe that through your nuanced perspective, you could impart a lot of knowledge on the students and positively impact them”.
“Latinos in/en Durham” is a project intended to document and raise awareness about the history and experiences of Latinos that live in Durham. The website is intended to serve as an educational resource for schools and the general public by using personal stories to depict the diversity of the Latino community. Furthermore, the availability of these stories online will enable more people to become aware of the businesses, services, and endeavors spearheaded by Latinos in Durham. It is our hope that such collaboration between the Latino community and Duke will deepen our knowledge of the Latino community and archive the stories that have been and continue to be important in defining Durham, NC.
