On Friday September 19 the art exhibition at Casa de Arte (Culture House) was inaugurated by Mayor Ilana Neumann of Sosúa.
The exhibition of colorful paintings portray the cosmos, the starry sky.
For a moment there was some confusion among the attendees because the artist Leo Díaz did not seem to be present.
But a moment later Leo appeared in a beautifully recreated NASA spacesuit with 50 stars.
Attendees, including many dignitaries and foreigners, welcomed him warmly when Leo dropped his space helmet and thus made its presence known.

With a drink in hand, the audience listened to the speeches of the various speakers.
First it was Ilana Neumann, next Adolfo Faringthon (director of Casa de Arte), Moisés Muñiz (Member of the writing collective Sosúa) and Óscar Zazo (author of prose works, living in Santiago).
All the speakers praised the daring paintings of Leo Díaz and loved the originality and splendor of the artworks.
You can see the work of this remarkable artist this week, every day (closed Sundays) from 9 to 5 at Casa de Arte in Sosúa.
