Art in Cozumel

There isn't  a really significant "art scene" here in Cozumel.  But there is lots of art, if you look just a little....

There are a couple of artists who live and work here on the island.  That I know about.  One is a fellow name "Galo", who does all kinds of work.  The other is Lucio Frias.  Who's studio (gallery?) is right across my street.  Both these artists have been around for some time, and have art in various shops on the island.  But there isn't really a big art scene here.  Certainly not like Puerto Vallarta where artists, art stores, and art classes abound.  I miss that.

But there is art on the Island.  In the form of murals.  Pretty much everywhere, in every style.  A few are just kinda "expressive" (weird to me).  But most are interesting and nice.  And many promote the conservation of the island's ecology and the reefs around the island.  Wikipedia says that Cozumel's reef system is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and is the second largest coral reef system in the world!

I've also finally done some of my own painting these last 2 weeks.  I'm just so busy.....
