Portrait of a famous writer smoking his pipe while remembering the death of Che Guevara

The title is the key to understanding the work. The “Portrait of a Famous Writer” is a dialogue that intertwines the personal and the political, it is the power of the written word and its influence on culture. “The Pipe with Burley Tobacco” known for its strong flavor, is the literary tradition and the process of artistic creation, suggesting that the writer is in a moment of deep meditation. The “Caffé Espresso Americano” is energy and creativity. The coffee and the pipe together are a ritual of inspiration and concentration. “The Memory of the Death of Che Guevara” is the duality between creation and destruction. As the writer dedicates himself to his art, he evokes the memory of someone who sacrificed himself for his cause, creating a contrast between the life of the artist and the life of the revolutionary. The writer reflects on his own legacy, his role in society and how his work will contribute to change and reflection.
