Cuban Art

Jeff

José Emilio Fuentes Fonseca, JEFF was born in 1974 in Granma, Cuba. From an early age, JEFF struggled with health issues related to a rare genetic disease that affected his lungs and ability to breathe. This coupled with an accident at the age of 8 where he lost 3 fingers and barely survived, meant he spent much of his childhood in and out of the hospital. JEFF's art draws inspiration from the country that saved him. The artist frequently resorts to childish iconography marked in his case by difficult life battles. JEFF has exhibited across Europe, UAE and the US. He has also received numerous prestigious art awards during his career.

Amalia Abreu

Amalia Abreu Díaz was born in 1999, in Pinar del Río. She is a young Cuban artist who studied at the Instituto Superior de Arte. Her work has been characterized by the use of various means such as painting, photography and installation. She was recently a finalist in the Prisma 6 competition, Body; and third prize in the tenth edition of the Post-it contest.

Abreu returned to her rural environment. Considered the epicenter of tobacco culture in Cuba. In San Luis, everything revolves around the planting and cultivation of tobacco. This is how the Atman series (2020-2023) arises, where a rediscovery of the spaces, habits, practices and people of their rural community is appreciated. The artist digs the path to self-knowledge from the rural hardship of her origins
