The new mural, created by Jesus “Cimi” Alvarado, Victor “Mask” Casa and Martin “Blast” Zubia depicts local artists of Latin heritage. It can be found at the Roderick Artspace Lofts in downtown El Paso.
The portrait also features former Music Director and Conductor and Conductor of the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, Abraham Chavez; Rosa Guerrero, who was the woman who founded the International Folklorico Dance Group; and Rocky Star, who is a fellow luchador from Juarez and a childhood idol to Cara.
Cara had the following to say about the experience:
“I want to thank all the people and the artists who were part of this project … It was a complete day. I can’t ask for more. I’m very honored that they chose me to be part of it. I think it tells people that within our cities, in our borders, there are a lot of people that have done great things.”
“The meaning of this mural for me, the most important thing and the message that I want kids and young people to understand, is that no matter your dreams, you can achieve anything you want. Every time they see Sin Cara, they see all these people and these great artists in the mural [who achieved their dreams], they can identify with it … If I can be a little piece of motivation in their hearts and in their minds, I’ll be very grateful. I’m very happy to be part of the history of El Paso.”
