Reydel Espinosa
Reydell Espinosa grew up in the countryside of Eastern Cuba. Thus, nature is very inspiring to his creation. He developed his painting techniques through intense self-study of great art masters’ artworks and considers the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana his art school.
He says “Entering the world of his painting is entering the field of infinite possibilities. I feel species in nature synchronize and coexist in harmony without the participation of human beings. I love to create characters with a sense of humor in my artworks. Animals are given life in my works with virtues and intelligence to do impossible things. In the vortex of my dream world, apes and peacocks stand out. In many of my paintings, the apes are the protagonists as they are funny and mysterious at the same time. Mutant and mythical creatures emerge from my inner universe. I consider it a sacred mission and necessity for me as an artist, to bring these inner images to light as they represent some unique spiritual value. In my painting, creatures, living in another dimension or universe, have their own customs and civilization.”
