This latest masterpieces join the 104 such works scattered throughout
Santiago, making of the city “an open gallery” in the eyes of its
inhabitants and visitors. The main topics are the environment and youngsters.

Painters from Cuba and 13 other nations from Europe, Latin America and the
Caribbean participated in this event that started on January 5 with
exhibitions of photographers and painters, theoretical workshops, videos
and concerts.

Fulfilling the event’s goals of bringing culture closer to communities,
they painted large murals in three parks: Parque del Amor (Love Park),
Carlos J. Finlay and Ferreiro. Also, they made the walls of the Provincial
Hospital and a school more beautiful with their work.

Andres Franco, and Ecuadorean youngster in his first participation to this
event, said it had been a very interesting proposition when people from
different countries, generations and styles shared their ideas to make a
unique piece.

Cuban Oandris Tejeiro, a veteran in the Internos events, praised the
possibility of exchanging with other artists during the creative processes
that allowed him to learn on other urban art trends and aesthetic
concepts, as well of different perspectives.
