The work of Darián Gallardo follows a bold and deeply personal line of figuration, shifting between expressive extremes. On one side, powerful, emotionally charged images emerge—raw, visceral, and reminiscent of unrestrained expressionism—captivating viewers with their visual impact and intensity. On the other, his paintings reveal intimate portraits and quiet scenes filled with an understated tenderness, where a contemplative and serene humanity takes shape. This duality reflects a restless gaze—one that embraces both harshness and introspection as alternating strategies for meaning-making.A defining feature of Gallardo’s visual language is its narrative drive, though far from…Read more …

Liudmila Velasco; Untitled / Sin título; 2024; Photographic print; 60 x 50 cm Femininity is a culturally constructed concept, often shaped by stereotypes and normative expectations about how women should behave, appear, or be represented. Throughout history, this notion has been molded through a heteropatriarchal lens that has restricted its understanding and expression. In contemporary art, however, many creators have challenged traditional representations of the female body, transforming it into a space of resistance, protest, and subjective experience. Cuban artists such as Adriana Mugia, Liudmila Velasco, Lancelot Alonso, Leo De la O Reyes, and Daniel Ernesto…Read more …

Adriana Pérez Mugía’s pictorial work occupies a space of technical convergence, where mediums intersect to shape a compelling visual discourse. At the heart of her practice lies the use of intervened photography—a foundation from which she constructs a layered exploration of feminine identity. Her gaze is self-referential, yet it extends far beyond the intimate. It becomes symbolic, offering a lucid inquiry into the overlapping dimensions of body, memory, and perception. What emerges is a form of figuration that transcends representation, acting instead as a vessel for a dreamlike, introspective sensitivity.Her…Read more …

Glints (Destellos) is a curated selection of artworks by Cuban artist Jaqueline Brito Jorge, showcasing a solid and evocative body of work grounded in figurative expression. Rather than stylizing forms or depicting scenes for decorative purposes, her art seeks to establish a powerful emotional and symbolic connection with the viewer through visually rich and meaningful imagery. Each painting is suspended in a subtle tension between the seen and the suggested, making painting itself a symbolic medium rather than a narrative one. The thematic diversity in Glints reflects the artistic maturity of Brito Jorge, who does not shy away from addressing…Read more …

David Beltrán’s work emerges from a continuous exploration of abstraction—not merely as a formal language, but as a conduit for sensations that engage deeply with the processes of thought. In the series presented under the title Re-Actions, abstraction takes on a unique, almost tactile expressiveness, evoking emotional or mental states. The forms appear as if shaped by an inner current, materializing through rhythms, pulses, and intuitive gestures.What stands out is the biological density many of his compositions seem to hold. These are not arbitrary forms; they evoke—without depicting—organic matrices and vital…Read more …

Yonlay Cabrera’s work stands out for establishing a fertile dialogue between art and other fields of knowledge—particularly mathematics—while maintaining a profound symbolic dimension. His series explore the expressive potential of geometric forms, which transcend the purely visual to become vehicles of thought: structures that invite reflection on the human condition and social dynamics from an alternative rational perspective. Formal rigor is not an end in itself, but a pathway toward an artistic language where every line and shape carries conceptual weight.Rather than offering direct or comfortable readings, Cabrera proposes complex—at…Read more …

Non Sequitur, a series by visual artist Antonio Gómez Margolles, presents a rigorous inquiry into the power of symbols and their ability to integrate multiple layers of meaning through a continuous interplay between thought and language. Rather than narrating or explaining, Margolles proposes a visual and conceptual synthesis that invites viewers to complete meanings from minimal signs and restrained compositional structures. With remarkable economy of pictorial resources, the artist places minimalist glyphs and images in a space that becomes a field of symbolic resonance. The restrained color palette—dominated by tones evoking…Read more …
