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.
