The art of Mario Sanchez -- showing charming Key West and Ybor City architecture, street vendors, funeral processions, parades, cigar factories, ice-cream trucks, people out for a stroll, traditional Cuban comparsa dancers with bands -- has become symbolic of the pictureque diversity of Key West life in the early-mid 20th century. Sanchez portrayed neighborhood places and events where he grew up, exhibiting his love for Florida's easy island living. His work also depicts Tampa's Latin community, Ybor City, with the same textured, quirky quality.His work brings to life the diversity and charm of colorful neighborhood life. The vendors hawk their wares, the trolleys move and rattle, the people gossip and haggle, the dogs bark, the bells ring, and children run with their kites.
