An artist that admire

In this occasion talk about an unknown artist he is Hugo Riveros.
Hugo was a chilean artist and a militant of the Revolutionary Left movement MIR, who was murdered in 1981 by members of the National Informational Center CNI.
Hugo Riveros born in viña del Mar in 1957 his father was a history teacher and his mother was a housewife.
To early age his art teacher descovered his talent and get a scholarship in the academy of fine arts of Viña del Mar. Since 1970 Hugo found in his paints a critical and social function in a period with many political dificulties for the country.
His political position critical and revolutionary to the establisment was reflected in is surrealist painting, add to his militancy in the MIR motivated his persecution for mlitary goverment agents. In 1979 Hugo was kidnaped for the cni and  where was tortured and imprisoned by the dictatorship.
Hugo spent one year in prision and in this time include in his paints ans draws the faces of his tortured and member of the CNI.
In july 8 his body was found inthe cajon del Maipo with 8 stabs in the thorax.
I admire Hugo beacause he was a tenacious man and if his career was not truncated by the hate, Hugo being a greatest artist in the country.
