In pages 21-25 of issue No. 3, Maria Luisa Castellanos interviews Ezequiel Padilla Ayestas, a valuable historical document where the artist defends his way of seeing and understanding art, also providing valuable data on his early training at the National School of Fine Arts Arts and their teachers in it, some of which oblivion has faded the legacy and memory of their names, being some of them the best artists our nation has seen.
