Answering this question involves delving into an enigma where the line between imagination and reality is blurred, much like magic tricks. \u2018Pertierra Enigma\u2019 exhibition celebrates the creative process and showcases the work of the mysterious Pertierra. It also pays tribute to mid-20th century Spanish illustrators and the late Fernando Mar\u00edas, who was instrumental in this exhibition.<\/em><\/p>\n The exhibition \u2018Pertierra Enigma\u2019 is the result of a project created by the illustrator Javier Olivares and the writer Fernando Mar\u00edas, a long-missed friend of our festival who passed away in February 2022. After pouring fourteen years of hard work and dedication into their project, the authors\u2019 dream of creating an exhibition has finally come to fruition. The result of their labour has been immortalized in a carefully crafted book meticulously published by Astiberri.<\/p>\n Upon commemorating the one-year anniversary of Fernando\u2019s demise, we stumbled upon some enlightening details about Pertierra that were previously unknown to us. With the discovery of his passion for a literary joke, we were motivated to push forward and bring the exhibition to life, so we accepted the game: the exhibition would become a reality.<\/p>\n Who was Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra? Magic and enigma come together in a journey that, as in life, the imaginary and reality walk hand in hand. The exhibition explores a creative process that heavily relies on the power of the imagination. It does so by tracing the mystery of Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra, the enigmatic illustrator that Javier Olivares embodies through a dedicated creative endeavour that has multiplied, or at least endowed with a dual nature, his artistic personality.<\/p>\n This is a story about a strong bond between a couple of creators, turned into a threesome with an \u201cevanescent real being\u201d. It\u2019s also a tribute to the talented Spanish artists of the mid-twentieth century and a nod to the writer Fernando Mar\u00edas, who was known for his passion and inquisitiveness.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb title=”Javier Olivares” image=”https:\/\/jafestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAVIER-OLIVARES-2023.jpg” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Javier Olivares” title_text=”Javier Olivares” border_radii=”on|0%|0%|0%|0%” link_option_url=”https:\/\/jafestival.com\/en\/participant\/javier-olivares\/” content_max_width=”304px”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb title=”Fernando Mar\u00edas” image=”https:\/\/jafestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fernando-marias-ja-festival.png” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Javier Olivares” title_text=”fernando-marias-ja-festival” border_radii=”on|0%|0%|0%|0%” link_option_url=”https:\/\/jafestival.com\/en\/participant\/fernando-marias\/”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”10216,10219,10222,10225,10228,10231,10234,10237,10240,10243,10246,10249,10252,10255,10258,10261,10264,10267,10270,10273,10276,10279,10282,10285,10288,10291″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” auto=”on” auto_speed=”3000″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_gallery]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”1cd6c482-e0a7-40be-862c-61af728458cd” text_text_color=”#B41218″ header_2_font=”|||on||||#E18A6F|” header_3_font_size=”28px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”BACKGROUND INFORMATION” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#B41218″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#6B161D” title_letter_spacing=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In November 2009, Fernando Mar\u00edas was commissioned by the SM publishing house to create a groundbreaking \u2018transmedia\u2019 novel in Spanish for young readers. The term \u2018transmedia\u2019 was used to designate a genre emerging at the time, which, in addition to print, included options such as websites, YouTube links, etc.<\/p>\n Fernando proposed\u00a0El silencio se mueve<\/em>, a novel that would tell the story of Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra, a Spanish illustrator born in 1919 and deceased in 1981, who, during the years of the Spanish Civil War, was involved in a murder that would haunt him for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n An essential part of\u00a0El silencio se mueve<\/em>\u00a0is a comic that Pertierra would have drawn at the end of the 1970s with hidden clues to solve the crime that haunted him: a sort of covert confession. Fernando and SM called on Javier Olivares, illustrator, scriptwriter and comic author, to create this comic. They wanted to play with the idea that Pertierra really existed and created this comic. To do so, they gave Javier an unusual condition that he, even more unusually, accepted: he had to renounce signing the book so that this game of identities would be even more effective. Javier was amused not only by \u201cinventing\u201d a new way of drawing but also by the idea of feeding, outside the book, a blog with supposed drawings that Pertierra had made over the years.<\/p>\n El silencio se mueve was published in October 2010. The ambitious novel project did not work out as the publisher and the authors had hoped.<\/p>\n It was then that the extraordinary story of Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra began.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”THE PERTIERRA AFFAIR” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#B41218″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#6B161D” title_letter_spacing=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Javier Olivares was abducted by Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra immediately after the book\u2019s release. Javier found himself captivated by Pertierra\u2019s unique approach to illustrating, which offered a refreshing wellspring of creativity that resonated with his own. He saw it as a welcome abduction of his imagination. Javier stopped being Olivares to become Olivares and Pertierra.<\/p>\n He was fascinated by the opportunity to contribute to Pertierra\u2019s blog and began creating pieces that resembled Pertierra\u2019s own work. These pieces ranged from book covers, jazz album covers and movie posters, to a short autobiographical comic detailing Pertierra\u2019s time in Paris with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville in 1969.<\/p>\n While some experts acknowledge similarities and possible influences between the two creators, it is clear that Pertierra\u2019s work, distinct from the creations of Javier, experienced significant exponential growth. In due course, he gained recognition as one of the foremost writers of his era. Javier, who acted as Pertierra\u2019s agent, successfully spread Pertierra\u2019s work through a blog. Several unique occurrences happened: Javier Pertierra\u2019s art gained recognition among academic publications and author compilations from the 1970s, which quickly caught the attention of publishers from various backgrounds that approached him to commission cover illustrations, and his exceptional work even earned him dedicated exhibitions. Currently, a documentary about his unique career is in the works, solidifying his place as a remarkable artist in the industry.<\/p>\n Who is Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra? The novel \u201cEl silencio se mueve<\/em>\u201d and its creation story, as recounted here, have generated some inquiries over time;<\/p>\n Is Joaqu\u00edn Pertierra a real person or just a myth? Did Olivares spread the false idea that Pertierra never existed? Is this a parallel to the story of Bruce Wayne and Batman? Why does Olivares persist in denying Pertierra\u2019s existence, even though his work is well-known and could be compiled into a great book?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fernando Mar\u00edas (2020)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/jafestival.com\/en\/enigma-pertierra-audio-guide\/” button_text=”Audio guide” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”ff8c03ab-69c0-476a-916f-d0b1f402e85f” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”f6d0a4a4-b688-4bf1-a37b-864ef0745b68″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n This graphic and literary mystery story includes an important part of Pertierra’s work: iconic book covers, magazine covers, and comic pages<\/strong>, as well as the author’s various objects and original material<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The exhibition consists of around ninety reproductions in different formats<\/strong> \u2014some quite large\u2014 and a variety of audiovisual material: a very special audio guide<\/strong>, featuring events and anecdotes about the project narrated by its authors; a touch screen<\/strong> that delves into Javier Olivares’s creative process; and a short documentary video<\/strong> showcasing previously unpublished images of Pertierra.
