Bule, como se conoce a este maestro del arte de la confecci?n de m?scaras, se aparta del tradicional diablo para crear unas impresionantes caretas inspiradas en la morada final de hombre, la muerte. Los rostros creados por ?l, representan osamentas que abren sus mand?bulas y saca a relucir una impresionante dentadura elaborada con dientes de vaca, cerdo o cualquier otro animal. Lantigua Cruz, artista y profesor, experimenta con varias t?cnicas en su trabajo, adem?s de las m?scaras mencionadas anteriormente, crea otras inspiradas en sus propias fantas?as e investigaciones, como lo son, aquellas que nos remontan a la legendaria Africa, con rostro tosco y pelo realizado con soga o cabuya.
