context_section_description: One of the works of art by painter and sculptor Bernard Romain was inaugurated and blessed at the church of Santiago del Teide the painting, depicting Ferdinand III of Castile. It has been fixed on the exterior of the church of the same name. It is the first in a series of images by the artist, paying tribute to the seven islands of the archipelago, that will be displayed around the town Then, he paints the "Road of the art" on holdest houses of Santiago del Teide. This work presents the seven islands: Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote (island of César Manrique). A traditional Canarian house was torn down to be replaced with the building that became the Fisherman's museum in Puerto Santiago. In 2002 Romain decided the plain fronted, modern edifice needed brightening up and approached the local council with his design. The drab frontage was transformed into a two-storey sea themed mural that incorporates sculptures of fishermen.
  He is going to live in Icod de los Vinos, where he installs his studio. There, he prepares numerous exhibitions in all Europe, islands and Spain. It was for him the opportunity to know many friendships and numerous personalities, artists, poets and writers.
