EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cuba's vibrant capital, Havana. In the heart of Havana Vieja, in Plaza de San Francisco de Asis, stands a magnificent statue known as El Caballero de Paris. The sculpture, created by renowned Cuban artist Rafael Miranda San Juan, pays homage to Pedro Vargas Vila, a homeless man who became an iconic figure in the city during the mid-20th century. Against the backdrop of this historic square and its charming colonial architecture, El Caballero stands tall and proud. His weathered face tells stories of resilience and perseverance that resonate with both locals and visitors alike. This symbol of hope represents the indomitable spirit of Havana's people amidst challenging times. The image beautifully captures not only the statue itself but also showcases the bustling streets surrounding it. The energy is palpable as pedestrians go about their daily lives under a warm Caribbean sun. From classic cars to colorful buildings adorned with revolutionary murals, every element in this photograph reflects Cuba's rich history and cultural heritage. Walter Bibikow skillfully frames this moment in time through his lens, offering viewers a glimpse into Havana's soulful atmosphere. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by travel photography, this stunning print will transport you to one of Latin America's most enchanting cities - where past meets present in perfect harmony.
