La Paz: The image of the revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara will appear in the exhibition that the artist of the visual arts from Bolivia, Freddy Escobar, will inaugurate on October 11 in the National Museum of Art, in this city, Prensa Latina publishes.

"This exhibition will not change my creative route, I consider from my perception of politics and art that Cuba, its heroes, especially Che, are an essential part of my work," the creator said.

Author of murals on Che Guevara, Tania la Guerrillera and the Cuban Revolution in Valle Grande, the La Paz Cable Car and the South Cultural Center of the Senate, Escobar expresses special admiration for the guerrilla commander killed in Bolivia, 52 years ago.

Graduated from visual arts at the Raúl G. Prada School, from his native Cochabamba, he also studied metalworking, ceramics and law, with a master's and doctorate in Constitutional Law.

Among its murals, highlights the Cuban Revolution, a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the triumph of the process led by Fidel Castro.

According to Escobar, Che qualitatively jumped to be a universal value of the human race and the problem that this species has between the administration of the common good and the right to creativity of the individual.

'I have met people who are totally oblivious to our Latin American culture - he commented to this news agency - from the Arab world, and they have social movements that are inspired by the ideas of Che, whose contribution is greatly appreciated worldwide according to said.

He stressed that Che Guevara without being born in Cuba conquered the right to be a great Cuban, and without being born in Bolivia 'is a great Bolivian'.

Referring to the work of this creator, the director of the National Museum of Art, Max Hiderer, considered it important to see in Escobar a master in the management of light, in a reference to the Dutch masters of the seventeenth century, 'something frantic for his plastic gesture of the brushstroke, 'he said.

He described that his combination between light and gesture is something that evokes the shock, the electrical impulse, all this apart from positioning as a political subject.

For its part, the curator of the show, Karen Brígido, anticipated that the October 11 exhibition will include works of great potential due to Freddy's strong energy in making his pieces.

In his opinion, that force is not only in the line, in an energy that looks like electricity, in its handling of light, and in how the figure is deconstructed.

The specialist said that all this allows a reading not only in historical visuals, but also encourages a rereading of the great characters that reflects in their creation.
