Cozumel, Quintana Roo — The Museum of the Island has inaugurated a new painting exhibition titled “Qué Gusto Verde,” featuring works by artists Joaquín Rodríguez Utrera and Peter Sharp that explore the significance of the color green as a symbol of life, balance, and environmental conservation.
The exhibition opened during a ceremony led by Juanita Alonso Marrufo, general director of the Foundation of Parks and Museums of Cozumel (FPMC), who praised the artists’ careers and noted that such activities strengthen the museum’s cultural offerings and bring art closer to both the local community and visitors.
Isela Carrillo Cupul, director of the Museum of the Island, highlighted that Rodríguez Utrera has previously exhibited at the museum and won the “Maravillas de la Naturaleza” painting competition, while Sharp has an extensive background in visual arts and art education, with works focused on nature and the human condition.
The artists explained that the exhibition’s concept stems from the importance of green as an essential element for life and planetary health. Their works aim to convey the natural richness behind vegetation and raise awareness about environmental protection.
The exhibition is free and open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Museum of the Island, part of the FPMC’s efforts to promote culture, art, and environmental education in Quintana Roo.
