In the spirit of the historic theme of the Liberty Tree in

“The tree of liberty
must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
We intend to ignore the tyrants completely. We strive to honor and respect our patriots
fully and completely in this artwork which will measure 15 by 30 feet in size.
Upon completion of our piece, we invite those who have are
serving, have served, or those who have loved ones who gave their lives for
this country to chalk their names on the leaves of the Liberty Tree.
When we run out of leaves, people can write those names at
the base of the artwork as well.

Festival Bella Via:
...Street painting at the top of the mountain the challenge of opening a new cultural space, can be said that it was a challenge to overcome. Street painting between the Sun and the clouds, framed by the Sierra Madre, the Cerro de las Mitras, the Cerro del Topo and our flagship Cerro de la Silla. It has been a unique experience, and perhaps even repeatable.
This experience, Festival Bella Via, reaffirms as a cultural gesture, and socially strengthens as a formative activity, and service vocation to the citizen.
During the two days of the realization, we were visited by around 20,000 spectators, who came to live the already traditional ephemeral art of the FBV. To the beating of drums, and our flag (Mexico) hoisted, the soil of the Esplanade from the viewpoint of the bishopric, was covered with art centenary art madonnari...

Today we wish to share our experiences watching the creation of the Festival Bella Via 2011 main exhibition piece 'The Last Supper' by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Led by Madonnaro Cuong Nguyen, with the artist team of Maestro Madonnaro Juandres Vera, (Madonnari Qualificati Category Winner, 2010), Juan Carlos Romero from Cuba, a Madonnaro Qualificati Winner 2011, and Madonnaro Qualificati Miquel Lopez Lopez, the team reproduced this iconic artwork to the appreciation of the thousands of visitors in attendance.
A wide angle shot of 'The Last Supper' exhibition piece (2011) by the Festival Bella Via Team of Cuong Nguyen (lead), Juandres Vera, Juan Carlos Romero, and Miguel Lopez Lopez.
Blog Now on streetpainting.tv believes that the best part of the street painting is the creation of the art work itself although the pride in the completed work is a special one shared by the artists. Here we have Cuong underway detailing the face of John.
Juandres Vera street painting the face of Jesus Christ, the focal point of 'The Last Supper' in terms of the subject and how all points (perspective) in the artwork are centered upon Him.
Miguel Lopez Lopez (above), working on the bright fabric of Simon the Zealot.
The level of detail is critical in the successful execution of works such as 'The Last Supper' and Cuong Nguyen's exceptional talent and artistic reputation for portraiture brought beauty to their reproduction of the artwork (below).
Juandres focusing intently on street painting the robes of Christ with his artistic intensity, raising the image of Christ above all items in the work (below).
We are watching Miguel detailing around the head of Simon, bringing the figure out from the background colors.
