Pedro Cruz Paints Cayo Mural | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Cayo Tour Guide Association has a great article out about their interview with Pedro Cruz, who painted the San Ignacio Town mural in front of the police station.  27 gallons of paint is what the amazing mural took.  Thanks, Mr. Cruz!

 

"On Sunday, I had the opportunity of taking a close-up view of Mr. Pedro Cruz’s mural.  It is an amazing art piece which features a collage of historical and wildlife images.  It was painted over the welcome sign in San Ignacio.  It has images of Cahal Pech, maya masks, and hieroglyphs, as well as wild animals found in the Belizean forests, such as the toucan, tapir, and jaguar.  Also depicted are iconic historical and patriotic images like the Belizean Flag, the classic 21 September 1981 emblem and the chicle farmers life.  It’s not only a mural; it is an experience, something that all Belizeans should see."
