The Guernica Hall of the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS) -in the provincial capital- hosted an exhibition of Illustrated Tenths and Landscaping in this new edition of the Cucalambeana Day.

Las Tunas, Cuba - This festival of the peasantry opened with exhibitions by authors from different communities from all over the Las Tunas territory, to show the beauty of the countryside and the richness of its traditions.

With the attendance of the Minister of Culture Alpidio Alonso Alonso Grau, accompanied by the highest authorities of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and the Government in the province, the awards ceremony for the competition in which the plastic arts and the décima converge was held.

Combining poetry and illustration, the artists reflected their vision of our countryside, pictorial pieces where beauty and verse converge as an inseparable binomial.

The decimist Maikel Delgado Corrales, from the municipality of Colombia, was the winner with his stanza "Al amparo de la sombra," together with the illustrator Ángel López González, who tried to show the value of everything that surrounds us and not to leave the past or what could have served us at some point in time for the modern.

Maikel seeks to make his work known, the work he has created since he was 23 years old, and now he feels it is time to bring it to light, to show his poetic skills and perhaps achieve a certain renown, like the one this prize has given him.

One of the laureates for landscape painting was Pedro Jesús Ávila Arias, who considered that an explanation of the painting would take away its meaning when the spectators themselves can feel and appreciate the liveliness of the palm, our emblematic tree, which at different times of the day comes to life in an unparalleled way.

The island's natural beauty and the imprint of the authors are reflected in each of these art pieces.
