Artist Statement:
For me, making art is a way of
communication with all human
being and with the future.
Through my work I try to
express my relation with the
political and social
contemporary context
worldwide. My work is also a
reflection about the specific
reality of my country. One of
the main subjects on my work
is the relationship between
personal freedom and political
power. Thus trough my work I
try to make a daily recovery
of and individual and social
memory tied to everyday
overcoming of economical and
social uncertainties. My work
is highly relating whit the
lost utopian feelings and
frustration of the
socialism-emancipating ideal,
which are states of minds very
characteristics of the actual
Cuban society.
I use diversity medias,
according to the variety of
significance of each work. I
have made a lot of etchings
prints, using my self-portrait
and a XIX century print trying
to create a character similar
to Alice in Wonderland. This
girl has the function of
commenting the resent history
of my country through popular
stories pointed out by texts.
In this series I also
incorporate classical
characters taken from the
popular political Cuban
caricature, which are symbols
of Cuban people ...
