Damián Aquiles
(1972)

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.

Wifredo Lam
1902_1982

Of African, Chinese, and Spanish descent, Lam participated intensely in the European avant-garde movement, and in his reencounter with Cuba, he defined a Cubist and Surrealist-inspired style in which he developed his own, very personal vision of African culture in his paintings; the half-animal, half-human figures or the intricately interwoven plants are key elements of his work.
