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.
Vicente Hernández
1971
The depiction of a universe both mythical?of unbridled fantasy?and utterly real; the precise, meticulous, detailed drawing together with unrestrained, chaotic, uncontrollable brushstrokes; the explosion of colour in the midst of ochre and grey backgrounds; a sympathetic and even happy look at dramatic situations; the apparent naivety and the mastery of techniques all characterize the work of this artist who with a deliberately narrative and even didactic spirit has successfully universalized everyday anxieties, frustrations, fortunes and misfortunes of the small fishing village where he lives and creates.
Víctor Manuel García
1897_1969
A self-taught artist, his pictorial ideal within the avant-garde established itself with the portrayal of a mulatta with oval face, thick lips and wide-open eyes staring into space that has become the archetype of Cuban women, making his excellent landscapes with strong lines and Cubist references to go somewhat unnoticed.
