The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.


Greetings hivers 🖍

A few days ago I was walking through Old Havana with some friends and we stopped near La Bodeguita del Medio to see if there was anything interesting around. That was when we came across this man, sitting and fully focused, drawing with a ballpoint pen a typical scene of Old Havana, the cathedral and its square.

I do not usually stop for long to watch street artists, but this man completely absorbed me in his work. While talking with him, he told me that he now draws from memory. He has spent so many years creating these Havana scenes that he knows every line, every shape and every detail by heart.

Other people also stopped to watch the talented artist, but unfortunately, in his own words, the tourism that is currently arriving in Cuba does not spend much money, and selling his work has become very difficult. A reality that, sadly, is increasingly common.

I hope you enjoy the photos I am sharing with you today.
Greetings.

Saludos hivers 🖍

Hace unos días caminaba por La Habana Vieja con unos amigos y nos detuvimos cerca de la Bodeguita del Medio para ver qué había de interesante por allí. Fue entonces cuando encontramos a este señor, sentado y concentrado, dibujando con un bolígrafo una escena típica de La Habana Vieja, la catedral y su plaza.

No suelo detenerme mucho a observar a los artistas callejeros, pero este hombre me dejó completamente absorto en su trabajo. Al conversar con él me contó que ya dibuja de memoria. Lleva tantos años creando estas estampas habaneras que conoce cada línea, cada forma y cada detalle sin necesidad de mirar.

Otras personas también se detenían a observar al talentoso artista, pero lamentablemente, según sus propias palabras, el turismo que está llegando hoy a Cuba no gasta mucho dinero y vender su obra se ha vuelto muy difícil. Una realidad que, por desgracia, es cada vez más común.

Espero que les gusten las fotos que les comparto hoy.
Saludos.
