Why Azul?
Because it is infinite.
It is the color that fills my soul.
It is the color I am made of.
It is the color I need.
It is the color of my world.
Simply put, it is color.

COVER PICTURE--BRONZE STATUE BY LAURA RUBIO (AZUL) Laura Rubio is an artist with extreme vision who works and lives in Guadalajara Mexico, where she has been painting for several years working mostly with oils on canvas. She has great promise of becoming one of Mexico’s foremost and most sought after artists. This, her very first sculpture in bronze is a magnificent piece of symbolism which she calls “Prisoner of your Fears”, but which I prefer to call “Back to the Womb”. It is not only unique in itself, but a true exhibition of this artist’s talent. Only one sculpture was made and it is owned and cherished by this author. In it I see a man somewhat in the fetal position holding his heart outside his chest. There is both hope, and yet an anguish there in his face as he attempts to protect and guard it in his return to the uterus on the one hand, (with his thoughts of his previous known tormenting experiences), while at the same time exposing it to the world in order to start anew and love again. He knows however that all the while his fate lies in the hands of some greater being and he sees how very small and insignificant and very weak he really is in this universe and that he must accept the inevitable while leaving loose of his many ambivalent feelings. He is cradled in the two hands of a woman who is ready to let him fall back into the reality of life in this world. The interpretation of this (as of any work of art) is of course an individual one.

Title: "Sinergia" The award "Sinergia" is composed of three elements: Two hands with ascending movement, one representing the hotel franchise (IHG), the other the franchise owner, both made of solid material and long lasting (bronze) like the companies that represent those who serve and support the third element: that is the guest (service) this one is of a fragile material made of glass since it requires, like the guest, a special and careful attention. All the sculpture is supported on a marble base.
