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.
Sandra Ceballos
1961
She is one of the most controversial and transgressive figures in today's Cuban world of art, set on demolishing all formal, ethical, social and family paradigms in works where violence, pain or neglect place the viewer before the less pleasing aspects of reality and behavior. Together with artist Ezequiel Suárez, she created, in her own home, Espacio Aglutinador, to "show and disseminate the work of Cuban artists of all 'creeds'.as long as they have an indisputable quality and, above all, that necessary dose of honesty and sense of unease before the actual creation of authentic art."
Sandra Ramos
1969
Although she has also found in painting, sculpture and installations a way to express herself, she is known mostly as an engraver. Her work is an intense reflection on Cuba as an island, on the vicissitudes of its history and religiousness, on disquieting contemporary issues, such as emigration. A constant feature in the artist's work is the recovery of both the social and individual memory, for which she doesn't hesitate in using her own body, at times transformed in an island as a symbol of the sometimes painful relation between personal and collective matters.
Servando Cabrera Moreno
1923_1985
His exceptional gift for drawing and his subtle transparencies were put to use by this artist in many different contents: the grave countenances of militia men, rugged cane cutters, portraits of heroes and works that go from stark eroticism to the almost insubstantial suggestion of two lines that never meet.
