Technical description:
9 life size body castings in bronze

Site: Luis A. Ferré Fine Arts Center entrance, Santurce

Muses is an entourage of nine bronze semi-goddesses, inspired on Greek mythology and translated into the Caribbean context by the creativity and wit of artist Annex Burgos. Each one represents one of the Fine Arts, embodying the disciplines of singing, dance, literature, architecture, design, plastic arts, cinema, music, and the theater.

The muses will be installed at the entrance-level square of the Fine Arts Center in Santurce, as if they were walking toward the complex. The figures cast in bronze are based on real life artists-models, most of them practitioners of the arts represented. The castings follow the natural silhouettes of the models, although they are slightly larger than life-size, supported by the skirts which are the foundation of each piece.

This procession of figures creates an immediate visual interaction with the public, paying a tribute to art and providing an opportunity to reflect about artistic activity in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean.
