Michel Rovelas was born in Capesterre, Guadeloupe, in 1939, and moved to Paris in 1962. After two years as a Mathematics student, he abandoned his university studies to pursue a career in the plastic arts. He returned to Guadeloupe in 1968, where in 1972 he opened a painting school and an art gallery in Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre. Committed to the social and historic claims of his people, his paintings, sculptures and drawings deal with the history and origins of the island. <\/p>\n\n
Since his first solo exhibition in 1967, his work has been regularly represented in Guadeloupe and abroad, including \u201cMichel Rovelas: Mythologies Cr\u00e9oles\u201d at Artchipel Sc\u00e8ne Nationale in Guadeloupe. Ad\u00e3o e Eva<\/em> [Adam and Eve], built in 2008 for the 8th Santo Tirso International Symposium of Contemporary Sculpture, is an example of Michel Rovelas\u2019s public art, found in several countries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2926,"template":"","class_list":["post-3729","artistas","type-artistas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/3729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artistas"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/3729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3879,"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/3729\/revisions\/3879"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miec.cm-stirso.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
