The other two murals correspond to images of Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara.

The artist in charge of the work, Juan Garcia Cruz, told ACN the new sculpture is three meters high and two 2 meters wide and it was located at the southern community of Camilo Cienfuegos, facing the road from Cienfuegos to Trinidad.

As part of the Mountain Biennial and using the same technique, the two other big-format figures were made on previous years. The sculpture of Che was located in El Nicho, and Fidel’s was anchored in Cuatro Vientos.

The three pieces create a sort of geographic triangle, Garcia Cruz said. He added that the works are the only ones of its type in the province and mentioned as peculiarities the fact that they are located amidst the daily life of mountain dwellers and also the contrast and durability of the materials.

About the importance of the Mountain Biennial, one of the participating artists, Lazaro Gonzalez Hernandez, from the newly created province of Mayabeque said the event contributes to improve the aesthetic taste in rural areas and encourages the exchange among artists from all over the country.

In future editions of the event, other big-format sculptures are expected to be anchored in the Guamuhaya massif. These will be dedicated to enhance typical elements of the area.
