The artist himself will also be present at the official opening.The sculptures of Kirindongo (January 24th, 1946) have been awarded numerous times. The sculptures could be seen all around the world in local galleries and at international exhibitions such as in Biënnales of Havana, Johannesburg and Sao Paulo. In the Netherlands, Kirindongo’s recycled work of art was barely seen. Museum Beelden aan Zee presents over fifty pieces of art, which were made from the 70’s until now. This is the first major retrospective of the most important Curaçao artist.
