When you are out and about, do you ever see things and think, "I have to blog about this." When I was in Mexico earlier this month, I had that feeling when I saw these sculptures.
The Monumento al Padre, Monument to the Father, are three figures sculpted from bronze that are located in the Plaza del Carmen, a few steps from the Teatro de la Paz and the Carmen Church where my friend Lucia was married.
The sculptures of a father and his children are created by artists and Joel and Mario Cuevas. The playful figures are detailed and skillfully created. I initially fell in love with these figures because of their beauty, but then was determined to share them with you after I read the plaque.
It states:
“Only a parent possesses the necessary art of being able to inspire in their children respect, love and friendship, all at the same time.”
Such a powerful phrase. As a parent, I hope that I can achieve this art with my daughters, just as my father did with me.
Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful fathers!
