Our featured Cuban artists capture the essence of present day Cuba. The colors are rich, the images captivating, and each painting has a story to tell.  Their work has been exhibited nationally through Cuba and internationally around the world.   They have achieved recognition as established artists and many can be found in galleries around the world, We invite you to share their talent.  Their works are exceptional pieces, very unique and fresh, and showcase a Cuba many of us cannot see.

“There are many factors that set Cuban art apart. First, the political situation in Cuba forces artists to come up with subtle ways to critique the system. Because of censorship, they must be very clever in their approach. A curator once joked that skirting government censors in Cuba provided far better training than any top-notch M.F.A. program. The result is highly sophisticated work that is often imbued with veiled political meanings. Second, Cuban artists make exceptional Cuban art because of their education. From the time they are young; Cubans with artistic talent are handpicked and sent to extremely rigorous schools that are fully subsidized by the Cuban government. Only the best make it to graduation. Third, although there are great artists throughout Latin America, the travel embargo makes Cuban art scarce and consequently more exotic, and this drives up demand”
