Regarding: Ismael Enrique Olazábal Báez - False Landscapes I
Artwork Statement
The series False Landscapes (oil on canvas) consists of the representation of a false landscape within a real one to reveal simulation and propaganda. The "staged" landscape within another creates a lack of correspondence between the two, connoting both simulation and absence. The exposed visual deception implies interpretations of propaganda practices, while this superimposition evokes the complete decline of the Cuban sugar harvests, an economic activity of historical and cultural significance. In their broadest sense, these landscapes are a metaphor for the simulated country and its real state of paralysis.
