Borimix Art Fest Opening

It was a successful opening. Clemente Soto Cultural and Educational Center was visited by many people.

 The artists of these pieces showed their talent by creating the image of the heads in "papier machè". They also wore the costumes performing live walking dolls during the celebration. The scene is depicting the moment when Pérez the mouse is proposing Cucarachita Martina to marry him.

 Miguel Trelles showing my work to Jorge Rosario an old friend from Puerto Rico and Spanish Literature Professor at Long Island University.

Interesting sculpture of the Cucaracha Martina.
