Though Nov. 23, “The Cycles of the Fig Tree” by Carlos Cázares, a Mexican visual artist specializing in the disciplines of painting, sculpture and graphics. Cázares work seeks to “expose his heart to the light of the Creator, and constantly seeks a way to impress the life of God on his canvases.” Through his experimentation with pigments and mineral deposits, he has found that materials such as gold and silver offer a beautiful refraction of light that enriches his work. His abstract works reflect an appreciation of ancient techniques applied in a contemporary setting. The exhibit is available at St. Matthew’s Cathedral Arts center, in the Justus Sundermann Gallery, located at 5100 Ross. Go to cathedralartsdallas.org, or call 214.887.6552 to schedule a free visit.
