CAMAGÜEY.- He made the luggage with the fruits and fish, the restless lines, the intense colors and came with his kind face to expose his heart to Camagüey, in a lovely sample from the title: The Gift of Choco.

Eduardo Roca Salazar, or simply Choco, just touched the soul of his friends and win the unknown, with the exhibition inaugurated a few minutes ago in the gallery Fidelio Ponce de León.

With his low talk and his great humility, the 2017 National Plastic Arts Prize reminded one of the best friends, the Nuevita’s artist Rafael Paneca Cano, founder of the Havana Graphic Workshop.

He did not hide his joy at the reunion with Martha Jiménez, nor did she, although excited, they were able to contain affection since almost children Fidel Castro led them from the Orient to study art in the capital.

Here he has been seen in dialogue with almost all the attendees, because he talks with the gaze, seeks the opinion of his viewers and accesses how many photos they ask as an indelible reminder of this joyous moment.

To better understand his artistic honesty, the curator’s detail is enough: right now he has an immense exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts, and Camagüey also brought the best of himself.

The works with tears and lights on the profiles that look and dream in ink, wood and bronze, which are integrated into the environment of El Carmen, the exquisite headquarters of the Office of the Historian of the City of Camagüey.

The Don del Choco, as part of the 13th Symposium Challenges in the Management of Cities, is dedicated to the memory of Roberto López Bastida, Macholo, who directed the Office of the Curator of Trinidad.

Those interested will be able to appreciate it even after the Camagüey’s Week of Culture, because the 505 years of the foundation of the once Villa served as a suitable pretext to correspond to him representing in his own metaphor of the Cuban identity.
