The exhibition “Drawings” by artists Luis Díaz and Arturo Vilaamil, curated by Rafael Pali Lorente, was inaugurated at the MAPI Café, with the presence of the French Ambassador, Jean-Paul Seytre, the Cultural Attaché of Argentina, Minister Melina Strakalaitis and the Director of Arts and Sciences of the Municipality of Montevideo, Antonio Salgueiro, together with the Director of MAPI, Facundo de Almeida, the curator and the artists.

Luis Díaz and Arturo Villaamil are part of this tradition of cartoonists and artists.
Both are close personal friends, one a Platense and the other a Celeste-Bretón, one a die-hard fan of Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata and the other a die-hard Bolso-Tricolor.

Both committed to their circumstances and their time.
Both relevant architects.
Both talented cartoonists and that is where this story begins.
When I write these lines they still do not know each other and this exhibition initiates the dialogue from the work.
