\u201cCave Painting in Hispaniola\u201d Exhibition at the Museum of the Dominican Man<\/STRONG> D<\/SPAN>ominican-Spanish archeologist, Alfonso L\u00f3pez Belando,gave a conference at the Museum of the Dominican Man, in the form of a Master Class called \u201cCave Painting in Hispaniola: Schools of Painting, Myths, Animals and Deities\u201din which he established that these cultural manifestations are the origin of all art forms that we know of today. The reason for this, he explained, is because of climatic conditions, materials used to make them and because the local painters did them in caves.<\/P> Other cultures such as they Mayans and Aztecs of Central and South America had this type of art, although in smaller amounts because they had already been familiar with paper. Cave drawings for them were therefore a secondary form of expression.. <\/P> Throughout the exhibition in the conference hall of the Museum, Mr. L\u00f3pez Belando said the Dominican Republic is one of the countries with the largest number of cave paintings in the world.As aconsultant for the United NationsOrganization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) and holding degrees in Geography and History, L\u00f3pez Belandopublishes at various universities. He was introduced by Christian Mart\u00ednez, architect and director of the Museum that operates as part of the Ministry of Culture. In addition, he showed photos with images of the Dominican Republic that dated back to some 1,700 years BC. The audience at the Museum was surprised with these findings.<\/P> L\u00f3pez Belando also showed photos of the Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda cave in National Park of the East. With great satisfaction, he said the Park had some 1,200 cave paintings, making it one of the world\u2019s largest finds to date.<\/P> For that reason, Mr. L\u00f3pez Belando highly recommends that this area be declared a UNESCO Heritage Site, but he recognizes that it is a long process that must be undergone to achieve this objective.

Other cultures such as they Mayans and Aztecs of Central and South America had this type of art, although in smaller amounts because they had already been familiar with paper. Cave drawings for them were therefore a secondary form of expression.

In his writing, \u201cRelationship with Indigenous Antiquities\u201d he talks clearly about the cave paintings.
