Cuban Art Today

Cuban contemporary artists have gone in search of a unique, recognizable language, which recalls the traditional stylistic features of painting, sculpture and photography.They explore reality and the issues of the human condition in relation to civilization.

Each artist compares him or herself with their own predisposition. The end result of the work acquires great importance; others are instead not interested in the exterior aspect of the work and concentrate vehemently on the theme of the debate, thoroughly dissecting the question.

Their art challenges certain pre-established aspects of society .Their work sarcastically criticize examples of egoism, fraud and hypocrisy. Their code has a different level of complexity, adapting itself to all mediums cases and situations. Each artistic act or form is well thought out and arises from a question.

Cuban art reflects the challenge of an island which is turning its face to a modern and complex reality preserving a unique identity and the desire to allow it to be permeated by the innovational forces from around the world.
