As part of a project between several young people, led by Wayland, the work – exhibited on one of the walls that make up the facilities of the place – shows marine diversity in all its splendor, the richness beneath the oceans and the life in each one. of those ecosystems.
The painting also pays tribute to the figure of the great American writer Ernest Hemingway for what he symbolizes for universal literature and for Cuba the author of a vast novel production such as “The Old Man and the Sea”, whose main scenes were captured in the mural.
A group of artists belonging to the National Council of Plastic Arts (CNAP) participated in this creative process as a key piece in reaching the final product.
The protagonists under the inspiring gaze of Wayland are Daniel Quirós, Yanet Frómeta and Luis Alberto Saldaña, who, according to the acting president of the CNAP, Daneisy García, jointly joined the initiative that gives way to new relations of unity between brother peoples .
This facility was chosen precisely because it is emblematic and guiding in the care of the habitat of marine species, García pointed out.
Three great American muralists collaborated with the American artist, who, at the request of the creator of this work, signed the artistic surface.
As for Wayland, he stated that his mural number 104 has no political motivation.
I have Cuban friends from there and here, this is the country where I want to make my mural and with it I wanted to bring something good to the world, he expressed.
The whole world must come together to have a clean ocean, and art is the first step, it is the way we can communicate better, through music, history and through time, he noted.
“I have been an artist since I was four years old and was inspired by one of the great marine biologists and scientists, Jacques Cousteau, who instilled in me the love to bring this message of conservation to everyone,” he confessed.
Photographer, sculptor, muralist, painter and, above all, a faithful lover of the oceans, Wayland feels proud to share his hopes and dreams with fellow Cubans, virtuosos who, like him, share a love for life.
