ISSA Spain\ Building sculptures in Picasso's hometown

The International Sculpture Symposium in Andalusia, Spain, and ISSA Spain, was held in Hilena from

 October 16-29, with artists from China, Italy, Brazil and Turkey attending the event, and it is worth 

mentioning that Andalusia is also the hometown of Picasso, who was born in Malaga, Andalusia.


The sculptors who participated in the event were Liu Yang from China, Claudia from Italy, Jorge 

from Brazil and Nihan from Turkey, who used locally produced white marble to create public sculptures

 of 1.5-2 meters, and the finished sculptures were displayed in the local Coleccion Museum, and will

 be placed in the city's public spaces in the future, becoming an important cultural heritage of the city. 

The artist expresses his great honor to build the sculpture in Picasso's hometown, and also pays tribute

 to Picasso and Spanish art with this sculpture.
