MEXICAN ROOTS

With the BICENTENARIO (200 years since Mexico´s Independence), Guanajuato´s goverment organized EXPO BICENTENARIO, that´s conformed by different platforms, which opened on July of this year, it´s amazing you should go!

This pictures below were taken by me at the exhibition. All of them are original pieces, just look at the crafty mood and detail. We have such artistic bases, so I have a question Why are we always looking to get inspiration from other cultures?
