ʻO Gómez Lara ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu a me ka mea hoʻolaha o ke kula ʻo saltillo o Watercolorists.
ʻO ka mea pena, i hānau ʻia ma ke kapikala o ka Lepupalika, aloha nui i kēia ʻāina, āna i lawe ai ma mua o kanalima mau makahiki i hala. ʻO kāna moʻo "Saltillo 400", "La Catedral de Santiago" a me "Saltillo Romántico" he waiwai pālua kona: aesthetic a me ka mōʻaukala, ʻoiai e kākau ana i ka evolution i loaʻa i ke kūlanakauhale ma hope o ka manawa.
"Ua makemake wau e pena i ko mākou poʻe a ma kēia ʻano e kamaʻilio pū me lākou; iaʻu he mea nui a pono ia, no ka mea he poʻe ʻōlelo lākou i ka ʻōlelo like, ka mea ʻeha, hauʻoli a noho pū i loko o ke akeakamai like. Me ka watercolor –maʻa mau kahi pilikia - hiki iaʻu ke hōʻike maikaʻi aʻe iaʻu iho, me ka hoʻowahāwahā ʻole i nā ʻenehana ʻē aʻe.
I nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei, ua hui mua nā maka o ka mea pena kiʻi a me kahi kaona o ke kūlanakauhale –Alfonso Gómez Lara y Saltillo– kahi hui i hua ʻia i ka pilina lōʻihi i loko o nā moʻo o nā paʻi o ke kūlanakauhale i lawe ʻia mai ka make lua o ka deterioration a hoʻololi. ʻO kēia moʻo o nā watercolors, i hoʻololi ʻia i lithographs, i hoʻonui ʻia e nā kaukani nā kihi aloha a me nā hōʻailona o Saltillo. Ua ʻae ʻia e like me nā hōʻailona o ka ʻike, nā kope o nā wai wai a Gómez Lara i ʻāpana o nā waiwai o ka home o nā home he haneli, hoʻonani i nā keʻena a hoʻonani i nā album a me nā paia.
ʻO kahi mea kālaiʻike e hoʻomaʻamaʻa - ʻo kekahi o kāna mau hana nui ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana o ka Hale Pule Nui o Saltillo - a he mea pena kiʻi mai ka wā ʻōpio loa, iā ia e nānā ana i nā kaiāulu o La Merced a me Candelaria de los Patos, a ʻike i nā mural o nā mea pena inoa inoa ʻole.
