Street artist Laika's tribute to Sepúlveda

Street artist Laika wanted to dedicate one of her works to Luis Sepúlveda, who passed away yesterday due to Coronavirus. Titled No paramos de llorar(We Don’t Stop Crying), it depicts the two characters from the Chilean writer’s famous novel The Cat and the Gabby: the gabby Fortunata hovers in the sky weeping and the cat Zorba, also in tears, wears a mask and shields himself from Fortunata’s rain of tears with a red umbrella.

“I have always been a great reader of Sepúlveda,” Laika commented, "and the news of his death particularly touched me. I have chosen to say goodbye to him through Fortunata and Zorba, the little gull and the cat, because Story of a Little Gull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly is the first book of his that I read and perhaps also the best known, with which Sepúlveda managed to speak to everyone, to an audience made up of adults and the very young."
