Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - After his successful museum show at the Capilla Del Arte in the city of Puebla, Mexico and having published his hard cover book, titled "Historias de Dia," featuring a retrospective of his work, Abelardo Favela has been busy painting in his studio once again.

Galería Contempo, one of Puerto Vallarta's favorite art galleries showcasing contemporary artwork, paintings and bronze statues, is excited to be offering his newest oil on canvas paintings in this airy two-story art gallery on the South Side of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Favela paints with so much joy, poetry and beauty, it gives one a sense of complete amazement, along with his very subtle sense of humor.

Women dancing in immense ballrooms; sailors in an improbable musical; musicians who carouse rather than suffer the adversities of their trade; Young men of innocent beauty; Young women of natural lasciviousness; beloved objects; furniture, plants, trees, the embracing landscape and the ever present fauna. Always the dogs; noble and sleepy in control of the situation, of any situation. Dogs who are eye-witnesses, companions, complements to human life, pharaohs in their realm of overstuffed beds and imperial thrones. Dogs who come and go; dogs who stay or leave, but never cease to be the measure of our passage through the world.

They are all scenes of joy, plain and simple, lighthearted and carefree, full of charm and self–confidence: joie de vivre in its purest form. These elements – with all their substance and significance – are the essence of Abelardo Favela's paintings.
