Manuel Antonio da Luz, mayor of the Portuguese city of Portiamao, had requested Cuban sculptor Jose Villa Soberon carry out an artistic project showing the life of the fishermen and women of this southern port city.
Villas work was recently completed and will soon be located as a future symbol of the municipality. The sculptor, as well as the Cuban ambassador in Portugal Jorge Castro Benitez, recently attended the Fifth International Sculpture Symposium.
The Cuban artist was one of five artists from different countries selected internationally to participate in the symposium, whose participants praised his work.
Talks took place at the symposium that could lead to a trip to Cuba by cultural representatives from the region of Algarbe.
