A sculpture dedicated to the cultural group Los Diabletes will be installed this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Plaza de San Francisco, next to the convent that bears the same name, in La Villa de Teguise. The work was created by Rigoberto Camacho Pérez, a young sculptor from Teguise, who won the call that the Heritage Department of the City Council carried out in its day.
Rigoberto Camacho, who has a degree in Fine Arts, has made his sculpture in fiber, a material resistant to climate changes, as he explained in the magazine Buenos Días Lanzarote, from Radio Lanzarote-Onda Cero. The work has a height of 1.80 meters and an approximate weight of about 100 kilos.
Rigoberto Camacho, who has made the sculpture in his own workshop in Teguise, was "very excited" to be the author of this work dedicated to Los Diabletes, a tradition with which he feels "very identified", since when he was a child he put on one of the masks on more than one occasion to run through the alleys of the historic center of La Villa.
The artist has taken into account the placement of his work so that visitors who come to Teguise can "observe it and discover all its sculptural harmony". Rigoberto Camacho, who is in Madrid for work reasons, will travel to the island to be present at the inauguration of the sculpture.
After this act, an exhibition entitled "The Gaze of the Diablete" will also be inaugurated in the Hermanas Manuela y Esperanza Spínola Municipal Theater.
