was created to facilitate the execution of art works that would profoundly impact the
community and the world, and to help artists with projects where traditional painting are
created with innovative mediums, creating with this a challenge for the artist and the community
to accept new forms of art.
WHY 'MEMENTO'
It is didactic, we can always learn from the process. With MEMENTO the public in general
will experience the artist struggle with the painting, like a very interesting chess game. It will
also be of great value to artists, schools, sociologists, anthropologists and psychologists. An
invitation to follow the creative process, it is a challenge, a tour into the artist mind.
SPONSORS
MEMEMTO’s exhibit should be fully sponsored by the hardware/software computer industry,
specially those dedicated to the arts. The Sierra Art & Fellowship Fund, Inc. a non-profit
corporation with a 5O1© (3) status, will be the link with the harware/software industry.
WHY THE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE INDUSTRY WOULD PARTICIPATE
MEMENTO will bring a new angle to art, just imagine if we could see Leonardo Davinci’s
Mona Lisa in every step of its creation, from the initial brush strokes, to the final Painting. The
didactic nature of MEMENTO will show us that every moment counts in the process of
creation, we will see the metamorphosis of a work of art in progress, and the
computer/software used as the tool and final canvases for this work of art, in other words, the
computer as the artist studio, and the painting itself.
THE BUDGET
The budget in preparation now, will be presented when we know exactly the place and date of
the exhibits.
SOME HISTORY ABOUT THE ARTIST AND THE SIERRA ART & FELLOWSHIP FUND.
The artist Enrique Sierra sponsored by The Sierra Art & Fellowship Fund, Inc., on 1996 put
together a successfully project on Miami Beach, FL called “One Mile Long Heart” in which
Sierra painted a one mile long acrylic on canvas painting with the help of 1200 children from
the community. The painting was exhibited afterwards at the Miami International Airport for a
period of 3 months, where over 50,000 people were able to see the exhibit. The project was
fully sponsored by the City of Miami Beach, Miami Heart Institute, Dade County Aviation
Department and Fredrix Artist Canvas. We had as honorary chairman of the project the well
known art collector Mr. Martin Margullies, together with ex-Commissioner Nancy Liebman
and other important members of the community. The artist Enrique Sierra received an omen age
and a certificate of thanks from the Miami Beach, and County commissioners.
