The Banco de Reservas inaugurated a Dominican-themed mural in the Madrid Metro as part of the cultural program underway for Fitur 2022 Fair, which is taking place in Madrid from 19 to 23 January 2022. The Dominican Republic is participating as country partner.
The mural “Dominican Republic, Reserved for You” was designed and painted by Dominican painter Wanda Cortorreal, a resident of Santo Domingo from 10 to 17 January 2022. Cortorreal was assisted by Gerson Rodríguez, a Dominican artist who lives in Spain. It had the curatorial work of Héctor Luis Farías Bautista, an expert in cultural tourism.
The president of the Madrid Metro, engineer David Perez, said the 4 meter by 1.70 meter mural will be in place for two years.
Dominican Ambassador in Spain, Juan Bolívar Díaz Santana said that the mural is one more step in the reaffirmation of the friendship ties and good relations between the Dominican Republic and Spain. Díaz Santana considered that the work represents the vibrancy of the Dominican culture and is an invitation to travel to the country.
