It is interesting to observe the dynamics of the human being and how the work can revive moments of your life. It is a call to know yourself through your relationship with others”, highlighted the artist Lidia León at the time to thank the people involved “to make this exhibit a reality”.
Haydée Rainieri expressed that “promote art and culture has always been part of the Grupo Puntacana Foundation´s DNA; this occasion is very special for me, as it represents an opportunity to continue offering unique cultural experiences for the families in the touristic area of Punta Cana. Our community keeps growing, and every day show us the interest in supporting the Dominican art and culture. With this exhibit, we offer the possibility of developing into life itself through art and live a new interactive experience.”
