My childhood in Cuba, spent living in a wooden house and seeing the process of deconstruction and reconstruction, has had a great influence on my artistic evolution. From country to country, house to house, I have relocated multiple times throughout my life, which has influenced every step of my development; due to the unforeseen changes in my environment, I’ve always had the ability to adapt and create my own space within my work. Like the steady journey itself of creating these landscapes of wanderlust and mystery, my work leaves the viewer with the same question I am investigating: Where is this place or who will live there?
I do not represent existing places; rather, I explore cosmic or sublime landscapes in which nature is presented in a wild way. Inspired by many gardens I have visited, I inquire about the romantic landscape. The interaction of architectural elements, vegetation, atmospheres, and irrational elements are what give life to my work, expressing the passage of time or depicting events that have happened.
