Art at Trio
 Ramiz Barquet has been a favorite artist of Restaurant Trio for many years, and his stunning bronze sculptures have been regular features of displays provided for the restaurant by his representative, Galeria Pacifico. At ninety years old and as the creator of seven monumental sculptures on permanent public display in Puerto Vallarta, it could be said that Barquet is the artistic patriarch of the community. His first public sculpture, Nostalgia, was the second sculpture to be mounted on the Vallarta’s ocean promenade, the Malecon, when it was installed there in 1984. It has evolved into becoming one of the leading visual symbols of the city, appearing in many magazine and newspaper articles, videos and travel books about PV, including the cover of Moon Publications current handbook on Puerto Vallarta. Ramiz also created one of the city’s very newest public sculptures, a tribute to the patron saint of chefs and cooks, San Pascual de Bailon, which has been located on the new part of the Malecon in front of Trio`s sister restaurant, Vitea, since 2008. The co-owner of Trio and Vitea, Ulf Henriksson, has stated that San Pascual and the adjacent Paseo de Chefs have become the focal point of the new Malecon, and is sometimes used as the site of special events for CANIRAC, the restaurant association of Vallarta, especially during the annual Festival Gourmet in November. Since Nostalgia and before San Pascual, Barquet has also created and donated the fisherman sculpture by the north bound bridge over the Rio Cuale; the shark in spiral at Los Muertos Beach; the flautist on Hidalgo street,; the boy with a book in front of Los Mangos Library and the family of four in front of the headquarters for DIF, the government agency for family affairs.
 However, Ramiz also helped to create several other monumental bronzes throughout Mexico when he was an assistant and protégé for many years of Augusto Bozzano, a former director of the famous Florence Academy of Art before he emigrated to Mexico City as a political refugee from Italy in the late 1930`s. And speaking of emigrants, another sculpture by Barquet that has become especially famous recently is his interpretation of an emigrant to Mexico from Lebanon, the birth place of his parents. In fact, there are now versions 19 feet tall installed on Reforma Avenue in Mexico City, by the harbor of Veracruz, Mexico, and by the harbor Beirut, Lebanon. Mexico even used the image on a postage stamp honoring the Lebanese emigrants who came to Mexico from the late 1800`s to the early 1900’s, and several Lebanese Cultural Centers in major cities in Mexico have smaller versions. In addition to displaying sculptures in Trio Restaurant, a large collection of Ramiz Barquet’s bronze sculptures are on permanent display at Galeria Pacifico’s location at 174 Calle Aldama in Puerto Vallarta’s historic center
