"Frente a usted, un majestuoso mural con algunas obras de Ramón Frade León, creado por el artista gráfico David Zayas, quien supo magnamente desarrollar mi conceptio. La idea es hacer de la concha la pizarra del amplio salón de clases que representa la plaza, para sembrar en las nuevas generaciones sensibilidad hacia las artes y alcanzar la transformación cultural de la ciudad. El muralista, como extraordinario expositor de los frescos de nuestra ciudad, plasma para la posteridad con magistral talento, parte de la obra que inmortaliza al Gran Maestro, dejando espacio para el observador curioso, atento y dispuesto al retro del pintor": Rolando Ortiz Velázquez.
