Save the date: Li Domínguez Fong

  • dates November 14, 2016
Vernissage: January 12, 2017 - 6 p.m. “I am restless by nature. I have always responded promptly to the pressing need to create because new possibilities burn inside me that I must constantly express; to fill in the blank spaces of the canvas with these ‘worlds’ or living spaces I create. My work, eminently introspective, urges me to search inside and constantly create relations and affinities in that universe of new stories.” Li Dominguez Fong was born in Havana, Cuba in 1978, where he still lives and works.

Master of collagraphy like no other in Cuba, his…Read more …

  • dates October 25, 2016
Keys to an Identity - Virginia Alberdi - Choco shines with his own light.

- Leonora Oliva - When Pedro Pablo Oliva (Pinar del Río, *1949) was announced as the winner of the Premio Nacional de Artes Visuales [1] in 2006, no one was surprised. According to David Mateo, this was "an award of public consensus." This is because Oliva's work is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of visual arts on the island. The prestigious distinction did not imply the establishment—already assured many years ago by said "public consensus"—but merely a confirmation of the substantial contribution of this creator with his work and his…Read more …
