Written by SULÉY ERA
Costa Rica, renowned for its biodiversity and environmental sustainability, its stunning landscapes and eco-tourism, boasts a rich cultural heritage, including an exciting art scene. Despite its talented artists, including renowned Costa Rican painters, Costa Rican art often remains in the shadows.
