The painter Crispín Sarrá has taken to the canvas the curative properties of the Bach Flowers, applied to children, whether in illness or accidents, from the flower therapy used by his wife, doctor Lídice Verdecia, specialist in this field of natural medicine.

This union of science and art, in a novel pas de deux between the creator and the doctor, was appreciated in the personal exhibition, called Bach Flowers applied to children, in the L gallery, in the street of the same name between 21 and 23 in the building of the Economy Faculty from the University of Havana, site near La Rampa.

This personal exhibition is made up by a set of 39 medium sized, oils on canvas, which resume the result of the research made at the start of the 19th century by the biologist and homeopathic doctor Edward Bach, a pioneer in the use of 38 flowers for
different curative and preventive treatments and who put together five of them in the number 39, which he called a rescue remedy.

The reactions of the children in their recovery process, from illness and accidents may be appreciated in the work by Crispin, who reproduces the way and tone of every flower, in which surroundings he uses the naïf, intuitive or primitive language that characterizes his work and makes it richer with an stylization that involves elements of oneiric surrealism, translated into a magic realism that captivates the spectator.

The images were explained in the words of Doctor Lídice Verdecia, who also answered the questions of those present in the opening act of the exhibition which will remain there in L gallery until February.
