Description

This painting is recent work by this great Latin Master. This painting is an outstanding example of her work and represents a mixture of great beauty, whimsy, romance, substance, magic, and power. Good works by Balcacer are becoming harder to find, as the demand for her work has risen dramatically over the past few years. MLA Gallery has an excellent selection of original works on canvas, and paper. Ada Balcacer was considered one of the five most significant artists in the history of the Dominican Republic.

Ada Balcácer, the Dominican painter and visual artist whose luminous work and decades of teaching shaped the course of national art, died this past Christmas Day in Miami at the age of 95. Born in San Juan de la Maguana, she graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in 1951 and went on to perfect her craft at the University of Río Piedras (Puerto Rico) and in New York, where she combined studies in design with ceramics and engraving.

A leading figure in the Nueva Imagen movement that emerged in 1972, Balcácer explored multiple aesthetic languages across painting, mural work, ceramics, and printmaking. Her pieces have been exhibited widely and are held in major public collections: the National Museum of Havana; the Inter-American Development Bank Gallery in Washington; the Palaces of Fine Arts in Mexico and Caracas; and the Museum of Modern Art of Santo Domingo, among others.

Among her most celebrated public works is the mural The Transparent Palm in the Dominican Tourist Information Center in New York. Her painting The Magician of the Landscape was selected by the United Nations to illustrate a postage stamp—an emblem of the international recognition her work achieved. Notable thematic cycles include Mythology and Legend (Taticas, Carnival, and Bacá, 1969–1972) and Geometry and Composition (Participating Spaces, 1972–1978).

Balcácer’s contributions were recognized throughout her career: first prize and gold medal at the E. León Jimenes awards (1967); Artist of the Year from the University Cultural Movement (1970); honors at the V American Biennial of Graphic Arts in Cali (1986); the Grand Prix of the Diplomatic World (Santo Domingo, 1987); and the Corripio Foundation Art Prize (2014), among others. Beyond accolades, she leaves an enduring legacy as a teacher and cultural activist whose sensitivity to light and color profoundly influenced generations of Dominican artists.

Rest in peace, beloved teacher of light—may your colors continue to illuminate our skies and our memory.

A Shimmering Touch with Some Drawbacks
The Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers a way to add a touch of radiance to my makeup routine. This 50ML gold shimmer body oil is designed for creating a shimmering and moisturizing glow, ideal for concerts, parties, or achieving a summer glow. Pros: Moisturizing Formula: The oil provides hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the day. Versatile Use: It can be applied to both the body and face, allowing for a cohesive glow from head to toe. Long-Lasting: The shimmer is designed to last for hours, aiming to keep the glow intact throughout events. Cons: Subtle Glow: I found that the glow is not as pronounced as I expected, which might not meet the expectations of those looking for a more vibrant shimmer. Transfer to Clothing: The oil tends to transfer to clothing quite a bit, which can be inconvenient and requires careful application and drying time. Overall, while the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil offers moisturizing benefits, the subtle glow and transfer issues make it less ideal for those seeking a more pronounced and hassle-free shimmer. It may work well for those looking for a gentle touch of radiance, but it's important to be mindful of its transfer potential.

Gives a beautiful glow
I recently tried the Yosca Body Shimmer Oil, and it’s a great product for adding a radiant, sun-kissed glow to my skin! The gold shimmer is beautiful and noticeable without being too glittery, making it perfect for concerts, parties, or a summer glow. The oil itself is lightweight and moisturizing, absorbing nicely without feeling greasy. It has a subtle, pleasant scent, which is a nice bonus. The 50ML size is decent, though I wish there was a larger option available. The only downside is that the shimmer can transfer onto clothes if not fully dried, so I recommend letting it set for a few minutes. Otherwise, it lasts well throughout the day. Thank you

Not the best glow or radiance
Sticky feeling very low radiance but it’s more natural I guess and has a slight smell not a good aroma over all very nice wish there was more glow to it and not feel sticky I guess from the oil texture

A bit greasy
I know this is a body shimmer oil, but I felt it was a bit of a oily, greasy feeling on my skin. It does go on easily and has nice light shimmer or glow to it.
