00:00No macroeconomic project directed to our America will have success without the presence of the culture.
00:08Ignorance and marriage with money degenerates in the human stupidity.
00:13A master who was born in the Venezuelan East and who could impact his art in Europe
00:21and serve as inspiration to the new generations.
00:24He is the most relevant artist in Venezuela and Latin America.
00:32Let's say here.
00:34From the Museum of Contemporary Art Museum, Armando Reverón,
00:38the great mission Viva Venezuela Mi Patria Querida
00:41has decided to give an honor to one of the teachers of visual arts.
00:46A man who has recognized a lot in our history of plastic arts
00:50and who is more alive than ever.
00:53He is the Maestro Juvenal Ravelo.
00:56We all consider that this type of recognition is crucial.
01:02They have to do with memory in life, with memory and with the narrative,
01:06the voice of the protagonists, the creators, the masters and characters
01:13that have built, in this case, the history of the plastic arts.
01:17I think that that is relevant in all disciplines.
01:19I want to say that this is interesting and important because I interpret
01:30that the world of culture is a world that must be the main engine of any system.
01:45When he incorporated the population of Caripito to paint, it was very important because it was not the artist
01:58already consagrated, but the people, the people as an artist.
02:04And practically his work, the work that they were doing were their own houses,
02:12it was the place where they lived.
02:15So that was something exceptional here in Venezuela.
02:21What important is that today we have this Maestro here with us,
02:26more alive, more alive, more alive than ever.
02:28Because he continues to work, he continues to create, he continues to dream,
02:32and he continues to think about the Venezuelan culture,
02:36what important is the culture.
02:39How we are not only a country for our wealth,
02:45but we are also a great country for that cultural wealth that we have,
02:50and for those Maestros that were born on this land,
02:54that have fought on this land and that are still creating on this land.
02:57In this land, the people of Carpito to come,
03:01I'm a lot more as possible.
03:01We are now and this land.
03:01Now listen to us and I have a nation.
03:03We are going to live in the city of Carpito to a more than 50.
03:04This land.
