The centenary of Colo Colo has not been as expected in black and white. During the last weekend, commemorative acts were performed by the 100th anniversary of the Cacique and One of the culminates was the inauguration of the statue of David Arellano in the immediate vicinity of the Monumental stadium.
The work It was made by Chilean sculptor Luis Arturo Hevia And it is located in the front of the Monumental stadium, specifically in the ocean access, in front of the sculptures of Francisco Valdés and Carlos Caszely. “I don’t know if David Arellano will have imagined what was going to happen 100 years later. I think so, because he was a visionary,” said the president of Byn on the spot.
Of course not everything is tranquility in that aspect. Hours before the image was discovered, The sculptor Óscar PlandiuraBachelor of Arts from the University of Chile and Piedra Master of the National School of Artisans, made a severe complaint Against the Puertomontino businessman.
The artist published a text on his Instagram account entitled “Aníbal mosa; ‘an incorrigible rogue’”. There he accuses the helmsman of the Concessionaire Alba of having stolen his idea of a statue after not reaching an economic agreement for the construction of it.
“At the end of September of the year 2024, I receive a call from the president of Black and Black Aníbal Mosa, requesting a sculptural proposal that represents the founder and first captain of Colo Colo, David Arellano. We agreed a meeting that materialized on Thursday, October 3 at 6:00 p.m. Social of Colo Colo, Matias Camacho, and another director, who happened to explain my proposal from David Arellano, cast in bronze 2.2 meters high, idea that I developed after finding a photograph that for me portrayed identity and Arellano’s character, ”he begins in his story.
“The insolent mosa offer was to lower the value 30% To start the work, offer that of course I rejected. Soon they inform me that My drawings and models were used to send the sculpture to another sculptor For much less silver, which leads me to write to Mr. Mosa that his act, in addition to being unusual, is reproachable by not keeping in mind the value of the intellectual property of a project and that is not conditioned with the values and inalienable convictions of Professor David Arellano, ”he added.
Finally, Plandiura closes with an acid criticism of the southern trajectory. “When this incorrigible rogue discovers the statue of David Arellano, He will be refreasing that by the mere fact of having moneyViolence in the stadiums can be condemned opportunistically, although you solve the differences in directory meetings and you can be convicted of justice for obtaining a fraudulent driver’s license and being there by presiding over the 100 -year life ceremony of Colo Colo. The year 2024 was verified that mosa, only studied until sixth basic and was convicted of falsification of a public instrument, ”he closed.
