Galeria Cubana - Exhibit

El mundo que creamos
(The world we created)

Galería Cubana is pleased to introduce two new artists to our roster!

Arián Irsula has spent years experimenting in abstract painting based on a fascination of fractals captured by special cameras and lenses. Cartographic and geographic studies greatly influence his work. He developed his painting technique with the intention that the viewer perceive they are viewing a real photo of a planet taken from an airplane.

Galeria Cubana is pleased to exhibit three of Irsula’s recent works. Two of his planetary paintings are inspired by different climatic conditions— one of them the Azul Mundo (Blue world), where temperatures could be below zero for most of the year. Mundo verde (Green world), inspired by the geographical conditions of the Amazon.

He recently shifted this concept to politics. Mundos Politicos (Politcal worlds), 2021 is an examination of the 2020 U.S. election. Irsula attributes equal parts of red paint for the votes of Republicans, blue for those of Democrats, and white for neutral parties.

Andrey Quintana paints with intention of creating splendor and beauty in search of liberation from dark times. He uses an actual bullet— an object typically used to inflict pain— as his brush, in a magical transformative process. Quintana's paintings are large canvases of vibrantly colored flowers. His technique creates thick, lustrous, textured fields. The artist conveys the need for change while provoking the viewer to remember and rejoice in nature's beauty.

Guillermo Estrada Viera returns with several new pieces offering an evocative and critical view of our human condition. His paintings call into question the madness and mayhem of the personal and political struggle for power with an amusing use of parody.

The gallery is pleased to welcome again new paintings by Yasser Rittoles. Rittoles believes that despite our extensive human advancements in science and technology, ignorance still persists in the denigration of people based on skin color or race. Rittoles’ use of a limited color palette and minimalist composition, addresses his personal struggle as well as a broader global one.
