This initiative will have a total of 12 sculptures and seeks to promote a new vision of art and the broad potential that we have in the country.

These sculptures are available for sale. In that sense, people, institutions or companies that purchase will be part of this important project during its route, and will be included in a colored book-catalog, incorporating the profile of acquirers and artists, as well as essays and a summary of the development of the project, illustrated with photographs.
