Galeria HabanaVallarta
Galileo Navarrete
His work is intrinsically attached to spiritual growth and his development as a human being. He considers himself as a
medium to manifest the magic of creation. He and his wife Debra, who is Canadian, live in Vallarta because of their
love of and feeling for the ocean and nature.

GALILEO LIVES IN A LAND OF COLOURS AND MAGIC..."MY LOVE"!
I saw the murals of Galileo painted on the aisles of a church where he lived; the icons, throughly done with leaves of
gold and other objects which we, through our delirium and later resurrection, share.
Now I find myself with unbelievable paintings which leave me confused and make me have to find the key that leads
me through this strange world - paintings where the magic and the real world live together, creating a mysterious
atmosphere.
In his paintings there co-exists human forms and detailed realistic landscapes, with symbolic figures. Some of it is from
this world and some evokes other dimensions.
Rare landscapes are these. The real street with the real house, paint old and peeled, inhabited by strange people,
while outside, a glimpse of communication floats between two humans in their nakedness.
In all this, colours reveal the most remote and profound of the life of an artist, perhaps that which silences all other
things. With colours one cannot lie, and in Galileo's paintings the browns, blues and greens prevail, colours that wrap
the immensity of the surroundings of the world, the atmosphere, sky, ocean and Earth's vegetation.
Galileo has the vocation of the Painter who, not even in the worst of his moments, is able to withdrawn from it. He
just has to paint, paint, paint...
What a great gift it is to have such a calling in Life! May God bless this in him!
"The Earth, the Earth, how beatiful, how colorful, My Love!."
