Mauricio Saravia: A Painter with an Amazing Life Story Being Filmed by Award-Winning Documentary Producer   Mauricio Saravia is an international artist who is completely dedicated to his creations. Like Frida Kahlo, Saravia's own unique struggle: to keep on painting, writing and creating in spite of medical treatments, surgeries and a unique medical condition, has taught us so much about life. He has been interviewed by Image Magazine, KCAL 9-TV, KNCN-TV, CBS 4 News, Rocky Mountain News, Summit Daily News, Westword and La Voz. Saravia did his first solo exhibit in 1990 and has done exhibits of his work in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Denver, Colorado, Montevideo, Atlántida and Punta del Este. One of Saravia's painting Ethnica II is at The Friars of Beverly Hills. The Friars has been a prominent private show business club since its formation in 1961 by Milton Berle. 2006-10-25
