Sueños de Libertad

The 20 years of existence of the Antonia Guerrero Foundation have made it an indispensable part of the lives of many students from Estepona to achieve their higher studies. On the occasion of this celebration, the organization has paid for a new mural on the route created through the urban area of the city and which, starting this week, has been displayed on the façade of the Caravaca building, on the corner between Valencia and Zaragoza streets.

The work, entitled 'Sueños de Libertad', is a creation by local artist Francisco Alarcón, where, as the painter himself explained, he tried to capture Antonia Guerrero's philosophy in her fight for women's equality, as well as the generosity that led to her inheritance bequeathed to those women without resources who wished to study could do so.

The artist explained at the inauguration of the painting that it represented two figures "who are in total communication", on the one hand a woman, who embodies Antonia Guerrero in her youth and who looks inside with the dream of power study and feel fulfilled, and on the other hand a goldfinch appears that symbolizes her desire for freedom.

Likewise, Alarcón explained that in the eight-meter-high mural and romantic style, he used a wide palette of colors of great vividness to convey the desire to excel and the vitality of this fighter.
