Born in
1965, in Paraguay, daughter of Maria Amália Hornung and Ramón Avala, grew up to
the sound of brazilian and paraguayan songs. When she had the oportunity, she
would lean over the reproductions of the
workmanships of the great geniuses of the dutch painting.
Her start in the artistic world was at the
dawn of this century. The inspiration came when she opened a store of indigenous objects "MadreTierra. While
examining the pieces produced by the tribes, noticed with sensitivity the
cultural value in each work of various ethnic groups represented there. It was
the moment of creation for her first artistic studies, to the plastic
production.
Free of academic concepts, while producing her
paintings and exhibiting them, composed a participant environment for
customers, visitors and the Indians of the region, who attended her place. This
coexistence aroused great admiration and interest in the redemption of our
Aboriginal culture.
Inserting elements in her work, such as: mask,
panache, rattle, clay containers, fabric, and still life composed of fruits,
fish, that while mining, tried to recover the whole meaning contained in these
elements, showing the plastic expression of the essence of primitive villages.
The contact with her brother, Roberto Ayala,
teacher, sculptor and anthropologist, has added knowledge in this walk. Upon
receiving Lotte Schulz, renowned illustrator-designer and director of Museum in
her shop, got her a great incentive to show the world the valuable and
authentic production of the peoples of the forest.
In search for further academic knowledge, she
attended the workshop of Monica Delssin, where she received lessons in painting
techniques and coloring concepts.
With her participation in the cultural
circuit, got her closer to Lucy YEGROS, Gustavo Beckelman, Herman GUGGIARI,
notably among them the painter Hernán Miranda (hyper realistic). And Regina,
who was already in love with academic painting, when contemplated the works of
this artist, showed splendid admiration, even calling herself "the
follower". Appropriating these skills she experienced, employed them in
her work.
A detailed investigation has achieved, in the
perfection and beauty, the colors used in their technical and photographic
realism, resulted in a bright plastic production.
In her exhibition at the National Museum of
Fine Arts in October 2003, the city of Asuncion, was recognized as the new
phenomenon of contemporary arts, winning titles, received several orders and
invitations to exhibit in other coutries.
Recognized in the Paraguayan artistic world,
following her way with firmness and confidence, Regina Hornung opens in paths
that lead us to pleasure and spiritual delight. Thus, in contemplating her
work, we can see the living history of the art of native South Americans.
