Arturo Montoto Echevarría Col (Cabbage)
'Cabbage’ is a very direct representation, it is the image of the vegetable on the wall. The intention was to capture all the possible veracity of the objects that he had already painted and studied, such as a cabbage or a melon, to capture the visual enjoyment and aestheticism of that object, to capture and explore its dimensions. That is why these pieces were patinated in different colors, but always from a sculptural perspective, as a pretext for a sketch of large format sculptures. Working with scale was another of the studies he carried out with this sculptural experience, how certain characteristics of the objects could work when the scale is changed.

This sculpture was cast in Verona, Italy in 2003 at the world renowned Fonderia Bovincini. 

Esteban Machado Díaz Rosa para el amigo sincero (Rose for the sincere friend)
Machado wanted to pay tribute to friendship. José Martí adored Mexico and lived there for years. In 1876, he wrote an essay in the universal magazine urging Mexican painters to depict their land and its customs, rather than being influenced by contemporary European styles. This is why Diego Rivera painted him next to Frida in one of his murals in the National Palace on a Sunday afternoon, by the Alameda Central.

Machado, in his tribute to Frida on the 115th anniversary of her birth, created a cultural fusion, and this painting reflects the tribute to friendship.
A Frida carrying a white rose for a sincere friend, a famous verse by Jose Marti, a Frida that evokes friendship beyond creeds, cultures and religions, sincere friendship that elevates the spirit and enlightens the soul. In this work the master leaves a testimony of the salvation of friendship.
