Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog, I am participating again in the contest organized by @digi-me, CCC's Street Art Contest #271. Walking through the city center, I came across a portrait of Luis Mariano Rivera. It is very common to see painted murals near the historic center of my hometown, Cumaná. I couldn't resist, so I took out my phone camera and clicked away, getting my photography to participate in this new edition of street art.

The subject of the mural is a musician, singer, poet, playwright, and composer from Sucre, Venezuela, whose name was Luis Mariano Rivera. Luis Mariano left an invaluable legacy in our popular culture, and despite his many talents, it was through music that he established himself as a major figure.

In tribute to this outstanding composer and playwright born in Canchunchú, Bermúdez municipality, a theater bearing his name, “Luis Mariano Rivera,” was built in our beloved city of Cumaná. The painted portrait of this artist from Sucre, who died on March 15, 2002, was taken in Callejón Santa Inés, a place that opens the doors to the historic center of the city of Cumaná, Sucre state, Venezuela. I love this mural because of how well the portrait of this important figure in popular culture has turned out and because of the beauty of the nature that surrounds it, a little corner full of flowers.

This is my entry to the CCC's Street Art Contest #271.

Thank you for reading

Saludos estimados amigos, bienvenidos a mi blog, estoy participando nuevamente en el concurso organizado por @digi-me, CCC's Street Art Contest #269. Caminando por el centro de la ciudad, me encontré con el retrato de Luis Mariano Rivera. Es muy común ver murales pintados cerca del casco histórico de mi natal Cumaná. No me pude resistir, así que tomé la cámara de mi teléfono e hice “clic, clic” y obtuve mi fotografía para participar en esta nueva edición de arte callejero.

El personaje objeto del mural pertenece a un músico, cantante, poeta, dramaturgo y compositor nativo de Sucre, Venezuela, quien en vida se llamó, Luis Mariano Rivera. Luis Mariano, dejó un legado invaluable en nuestra cultura popular y pese a sus múltiples talentos, fue con la música que logró consolidarse como un gran referente.

En homenaje a este destacado compositor y dramaturgo nacido en Canchunchú, municipio Bermúdez, se construyó en nuestra querida ciudad de Cumaná, un teatro que lleva su nombre, “Luis Mariano Rivera”. El retrato pintado de este artista sucrense fallecido el 15 de marzo de 2002, fue tomada en el Callejón Santa Inés, un lugar que nos abre las puertas al casco histórico de la ciudad de Cumaná, estado Sucre, Venezuela. Me encanta este mural por lo bien que ha quedado el retrato de este importante referente de la cultura popular y por la belleza de la naturaleza que lo rodea, un rinconcito repleto de flores.

Esta es mi entrada al concurso de Arte Callejero del CCC #271.
