The cover of Volume 9, Issue 2, published in 2026, of the *Arjé* Academic Journal of the National Technical University serves as a visual representation of the cultural richness, creativity, and value of Costa Rican artistic traditions.
The photograph was taken by María Rebeca Quesada Murillo, coordinator of the Academic Training and Continuing Education Program. It features Don Luis Madrigal Aguilera, a painter who creates Costa Rican Sarchí-style carts.
The image highlights the dedication, creativity, and knowledge that characterize Costa Rican folk art, as well as the importance of preserving and passing on these cultural expressions to future generations.
