During the most critical stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world was asking what comes next?, the first edition of Prisma was launched by the platform ArteMorfosis. Just like a prism breaking light into a spectrum of colors, this initiative aimed to create an integrative perspective out of a shared human experience. Cuban artists were invited to reflect through their own sensitivity on the many nuances that emerged in the midst of the crisis, revealing the other face of the pandemic: not only the shadow of uncertainty but also the light of creativity…Read more …

The work of Darian Abad emerges as a profound inquiry into the cultural implications of the human experience. His art goes beyond representing the obvious; it is a search through the signs humanity has left along the way—a philosophical and existential reflection that delves into the tensions of being. Through his pieces, the artist questions, interprets, and reconfigures what we understand as cultural heritage, offering a critical yet evocative perspective. In his production, the historical and the dreamlike coexist. Some of his series recreate narratives assumed as history with a reflective approach,…Read more …

Gabriela López Gil’s photographic work moves decisively away from a purely documentary vocation, immersing itself instead in a refined process where metaphor and symbolic evocation take precedence. Her gaze, far from limiting itself to direct representation, engages in an ongoing exploration of the feminine condition and the intricate labyrinths of identity—always from an intimate, deeply sensitive perspective. From portraiture to more conceptual and intervened compositions, her images aim to establish a dialogue with the inner world and the unspoken, avoiding clichés and formulaic narratives. One of the most remarkable qualities…Read more …

The oneiric—understood as the visual expression of the dream world—has long served as a powerful and inexhaustible source of inspiration in art. This dimension is marked by the suspension of logic, the eruption of symbolic imagery, and the fusion of seemingly incompatible realities. Surrealism, the 20th-century artistic and literary movement, harnessed this dreamlike potential as a creative method, aiming to liberate images emerging from the unconscious without the interference of reason or conscious will. In this light, the dream ceased to be a passive experience and became fertile ground for…Read more …

Nadia Díaz’s work, deeply rooted in the symbolic use of thread and textile techniques, offers a powerful visual discourse where personal bonds and the construction of subjectivity intertwine as both metaphor and lived experience. Each stitch, each weave, becomes a sensitive record of shared stories, emotions, or wounds. This handcrafted and conceptual approach creates a fabric where the intimate expands into the collective, opening a space for recognition and emotional connection. Her contemporary textile art is also a nuanced and honest exploration of the feminine experience. In her pieces, serenity…Read more …

The artworks presented—by artists such as Duvier del Dago, Tomás Núñez, Lisandra Ramírez, Yeinier Núñez López, and Alberto Domínguez—offer a diverse yet coherent approach to the universe of three-dimensional contemporary art, spanning both sculpture and installation in their many expressive forms. Beyond their formal variety, the pieces share a deep interest in volume, materiality, and spatial occupation—elements that position them within a realm where art is no longer just an image, but a tangible presence. Whether through the force of sculptural objects or the immersive nature of certain installations, these proposals…Read more …

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 …

Frank Baltodano’s photographic work encompasses a wide range of expressive approaches—from conceptually driven constructed imagery to documentary photography, portraiture, and landscape. At the core of each piece lies a meticulous eye, exceptional compositional skill, and a profound ability to evoke meaning. Baltodano is not merely a recorder of moments; he is an interpreter and a visual storyteller, inviting questions and captivating the viewer through synthesis and precision.His art stands out for its masterful use of tonal nuance—from the dramatic intensity of monochrome to subtle plays of color that enrich visual…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 …
