Pepe Dámaso denounces the disappearance of one of his works in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

 

Looking for one of Pepe Damaso's artistic works in San Bartolomé de Tirajana. The Gran Canarian artist has denounced that the work that he gave to be used during the Maspalomas Regional Folklore Festival has disappeared and that no one from the council gives him answers about his whereabouts.

 

It is a work of approximately 75x50cm that was transferred to the City Council of San Bartolomé de Tirajana to use its image and replicate the work on different sheets that would be delivered to the participating groups and used during the contest. The initial approach was to show the original work at the presentation of the contest, held on Friday, April 28 at the Maspalomas Lighthouse, but finally the plans were changed and it remained packaged. Pepe Dámaso was with Conchi Narváez at that event.

 

 

Municipal sources confirm that the work arrived at the place where the presentation took place, but that from there, trace of it was lost. The sheets of the work that should have been given to the participants were not distributed signed by the artist.

 

In recent days, the artist has reported the non-payment for the transfer of the image rights of the work, which amounted to two thousand euros, and the disappearance of the work.

 

Throughout his career, Pepe Dámaso has been a key figure in the promotion and dissemination of Canarian art, which is why he was chosen to be the image of this festival. His work reflects the richness and diversity of the culture of the Canary Islands, fusing traditional elements with a contemporary approach. His work covers a wide range of themes, with a personal and unmistakable aesthetic that has helped him to be recognized with various awards and to establish himself as one of the most relevant cultural figures in the history of the archipelago.
