Gustavo Mas\u00f3 is an Argentinian painter and sculptor who traveled from Buenos Aires to Rome to give Pope Francis two surprises.<\/p>\n
The first was this canvas of Jorge Luis Borges. It is a portrait showing the person, not just the character. He assures the second surprise left the pope speechless.<\/p>\n It was this sculpture titled \u201cEl deseo tangible,\u201d which translates to \u201cTangible desire.\u201d It is a sculpture of the pope's sister's hand. The two works will stay in the Vatican. The pope is looking for a special place for them.<\/p>\n It won't be easy though, as the artist said. The Vatican Museums only accept works from deceased artists. That's why its moment has not yet come.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n JMB \/ Claudia Torres<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" December 29, 2019.

\n\u201cIt has to do with this biblical passage about constructing one's own identity either on rock or sand<\/em>.\u201d \u201cHowever, what I want to represent is the person with his work, his performance and his thoughts in this life<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis piece surprised him because they haven't seen each other since he became pope, several years ago. They haven't seen each other since, but I think, based on what I perceive in each of them, that they are linked in a very particular way<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
