Aquiles has obsessively favoured scrap material from the bodywork of old cars or containers of the most varied types to make small walking human figures, or perfectly flattened squares grouped according to an impeccable arrangement. He has not abandoned canvas, however, using a combination of techniques to produce an abstract work where graffiti connotes the emotional impact in the direction that the artist is interested in.
Manuel Mendive
1944
The fantastic and mythical universe of African religions with its magical and symbolic language, and a deliberate naivety in drawing, spatial layout and the use of colour constitute the artist's domain, which goes beyond the canvas, painting on other fabrics and even directly on the skin of his models for performances in which rituals and dance meet.
Marta María Pérez
1959
The body as a space for self-examination has been a recurring theme in most recent Cuban art, and the body as a symbol of femininity or procreation, as a means for searching into her own identity, is used by the artist, taking advantage of photography, to express doubts, reaffirmations, and individual or social beliefs.
