This was the Poster for the 2013 International Tattoo Convention in my city (Pereira-Colombia). I made this composition based on the most representative sculpture 'El Bolivar Desnudo' (The Naked Bolivar) in the main square. I decided to put the 'Bolivar' upon a tattoo machine instead a horse, but keeping the head of the horse as a tattoo machine chassis. The big building in the background is the famous 'Diario del Otún'. The Naked Bolivar with the torch upon a Horse, represent Freedom and Strength. As an artist representing his free ideas with his working tool.
