Es Baluard Museu organizes a conference on the painter Miguel Ángel Campano linked to the exhibition «Accents and difference». With this program, which includes a videoconference and a discussion table, we will get closer to the life and work of the creator to learn how he lived his relationship with painting through an approach to his most intimate universe.

This is a meeting in which we will seek an approach to Campano’s plastic arts that will help us to remember and recall the spaces that were important to him, from the point of view and direct experience of the people who established a personal relationship with over the years.

The day is face-to-face and can also be followed through the Zoom platform with the following credentials:
