Pagan ArtWhile staying in a hotel in Havana one evening, Gines Serran-Pagan got the itch to paint. Though he had some paint, he had no canvas. What to do...
Pagan simply removed the mediocre painting which was hanging above his bed and painted over it, imbuing the canvas with a creation of his own.
When the maid observed the switch on the following day, she ran off to bring the concierge in for a look. So taken by Pagan's work was the hotel management that it was soon permanently affixed to the wall - where it still hangs today.
