It is reported GalleristNY to the website of the Centre for creation of Borja («Centro de Estudios Borjanos») and other Spanish sources.
mural «Ecce Homo» painted by artist Elias Garcia Martinez ( Elías García Martínez, 1858-1934). However, whether the author is alive, he hardly would have recognized his work. Now it looks like the creation of a naive artist, which should be, and considered himself retired. According to local cultural worker Juan Maria de Ojeda (Juan Maria de Ojeda), mountain-restavratorsha certainly been driven by the best of intentions, but it acted without permission. What's even sadder is the fact that the granddaughter of the artist Elias Garcia Martinez recently made a donation to the Center of solid study creativity of Borja and spoiled pensioner mural was the only work of this author in Borge.
