Artist: Hector Duarte
Title: Muralla sobre lienzo: A Mural Work in Progress
In the summer of 2009 Hector Duarte was invited to create a mural in the National Museum Of Mexican art. The entire theme of the work was connections. The imagery in the piece connected two different cultures that are separated by physical borders but linkedby human beings.

One of the great things about this piece is that it was also a way for the artist to connect with the community he was creating the work for. Rather than have the finished work of art be on display, Duarte started and completed the work within the given time, allowing visitors to ask questions and form a bond with the artist and his work.
