AT US LATINO ART SHOW AND AUCTION



MEXICAN artist Enrique Estrada, known for his Antinous portraits, will be honored tonight in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for his art, including his Antinous portrait "Cabeza dinámica de Antinoo" shown here.


That and other works by Enrique Estrada will be on display at the LATINO ART SHOW AND AUCTION in Harrisburg.

Estrada hails from Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico, and made his mark in Mexico City as a muralist and portraitist after his study at the National School of Plastic Arts, The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
