Cuba

The representation of the Island is very common in Cuban art. It is an obsession, a symbol of cloistering, the exact limits of geography like bars that subjugate hopes. A great prison in the sea that contains 11 million people, innocent prisoners who find no way out, had already been described by one of its most illustrious writers: "The damned circumstance of water everywhere" What was one of the most prosperous nations It has become a history museum and has died as a nation.

My Land

The Castro tyranny can alienate and not recognize the nationality of those born in Cuba by law, it is one of the extreme resources to get rid of Cubans who may represent dangerous to its interests or simply to take money from them once they have to be renationalized. Every time a Cuban enters the country he has to do so as a Cuban even if he has been of another nationality for more than 50 years because this way he can be imprisoned or disappear without coming into conflict with citizens of other nations. It also banishes or prohibits entry into the country of Cuban cultural personalities who do not recognize the regime or who have left without prior authorization.

In this way, many Cubans have rebuilt our country in other nations out of the nostalgia of not having a safe way to return. The island made with a handful of land owned by Cubans around the world is a project in progress
