Free exhibition celebrates São Paulo's anniversary with historical paintings

The 'Memória Paulistana' exhibition by artist Cristiane Carbone honors São Paulo's anniversary through paintings exploring the city's history and architecture. The free show runs until March 13 at the Associação Paulista de Medicina. Carbone, with 34 years in her career, emphasizes art's role in preserving São Paulo's heritage.

The Associação Paulista de Medicina hosts the 'Memória Paulistana' exhibition until March 13, paying tribute to São Paulo's anniversary. Artist and educator Cristiane Carbone displays oil-on-canvas works that revisit the metropolis's historical heritage and architecture, linking past and present.

With 34 years of career, Carbone serves as vice-president of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de São Paulo. The 'Memória Paulistana' series is part of her thematic projects, including 'Pátria Amada Brasil' and 'Patrimônio Histórico'. Her paintings engage with the city's infinite layers.

"São Paulo is a metropolis of infinite layers. Art has the power to pause time, allowing us to admire and respect what we have built and inherited," the artist states.

The exhibition runs Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the ground floor of the association, located on Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio in the Bela Vista neighborhood. Entry is free, inviting visitors to reflect on São Paulo's urban evolution through art.
