'No hay nada más difícil que vivir sin ti,' or “there is nothing harder than to live without you,' are the Marco Antonio Solís lyrics that played as Mireles' family admired her colorful mural.
PUBLISHED 8:51 AM CDT Jul. 22, 2022SAN ANTONIO — Sandra Gonzalez did everything to capture Eva Mireles’ essence on her mural. Mireles was one of the two teachers who lost her life at the Robb Elementary School shooting.
This isn’t one of those mural stories that claims to bring the community together — Mireles’ mural literally brought folks from out of town and Uvalde together. Gonzalez even a received a helping hand from Mireles’ husband Ruben Ruiz and their daughter Adalynn Ruiz. “She loved Mana. She sang really bad, but she loved singing, so that was her thing: hiking and karaoke,” Adalynn Ruiz said.
Abel Ortiz runs Art Lab Contemporary Art Space in Uvalde and he thought of the idea to put these murals up. Monica Maldanado, founder of MAS Cultura, helped organize this project and got all of the artists together to help Uvalde heal. The little diamonds on the mural were a fitting touch, because like Mireles’ favorite karaoke song, it shined bright like a diamond.
