Artwork details
An original work by artist José Raúl Rodríguez Cuevas, oil on canvas, created in 2017. It belongs to the artist’s series titled "Somos del Caribe insular" ("We Are from the Caribbean Islands"). The piece employs mixed media, drawing upon the artist’s 45 years of experience in the visual arts. It features techniques such as revealing underlying layers, multi-layered painting, highly refined transparencies, and visual textures, among others. The work evokes a universe of migratory stories from a Latin American country and region that, since the beginning of the century, has been defined by an odyssey of migration. Through a blend of conceptual and figurative language, it explores these trends—families torn apart and the human process of adaptation as individuals seek to rebuild their futures. The work has been highly acclaimed in both national and international exhibitions; it is a striking piece that reflects the mastery gained through years of artistic creation. It focuses on a specific locale—the province of Pinar del Río, with its Sierra de los Órganos mountain range—and highlights the role of Christian faith in the pursuit of prosperity and a better future for children and families. It represents an identity and a way of embracing the future with optimism.
