DESCRIPCIÓN DEL MURAL EN COP TIJUANA

La mujer del vestido amarillo llega volando a entregarle un mundo -que simboliza la salud- a un niño. Es mujer ya que la madre es un ser muy importante y así como es capaz de darle la vida también le ofrece la salud. En los extremos se aprecian dos pequeños en peces voladores y en la parte central, otros niños leyendo. Esto proyecta además de su hermosa imaginación, los derechos de los niños a jugar y a la educación. Las palomas significan los donadores y las flores que llevan en sus picos o ya han arrojado, son los donativos. El avión, el mar, las nubes y el cielo azul son parte del mensaje de libertad y esperanza que se respira en el COP.

COMENTARIOS DEL AUTOR GERMAN RUBIO SIERRA

“El arte de la pintura ha sido una gran influencia en mi vida desde pequeño, el cual despertó mi imaginación, mis fantasías en el cual he podido plasmar sobre un lienzo o representado en unos murales sueños surrealistas personales, así como de otras personas. Gracias al Arte eso me ha dejado una satisfacción de que mi pintura proporcione alegría a los niños y adultos donde los colores y formas de mis obras generen interés en querer aprender a pintar, cantar, bailar, o cualquier acción que este relacionada con el arte, por lo cual la sociedad debido a un atareado estilo de vida no se da el tiempo de hacerlo y suelen el pensar que esto es un don nato.
Mi trabajo como pintor me ha acercado a personas que me han enseñado el valor de dar, el cual ha sido el causante de que yo reflexione como ser humano y descubrir dentro de mi, la necesidad de dar algo a cambio, y lo mejor que puedo hacer es mi pintura.

Busco la oportunidad de poder ofrecer a la Fundación Castro Limón y su Centro Operativo Oncologico COP un mural donado, ya que la institución tiene como principio el ayudar a niños que son la alegría y el motor para que todo ser humano siga pensando y luchando por un mejor mundo.”

Mis mas sinceros agradecimientos.
