Yasiel Elizgaray, born 1987, A most
promising star from the younger
generation of contemporary Cuban talents.
Elizgaray's masterly uses the tools of
grotesque expressionism by subverting
the classical beauty of infancy, youth
and femininity into distorted, unsettling,
and maddening forms that expose deep
emotional and psychological unbalance
and anxiety in his characters.
The artist's application of heavy impastos
and thinner layers of paint adds to the
tension of composition.
His hopeless involuntary sitters are
inspired by everyday people that he
sees and imagines from his immediate
surroundings.

“In this work, the penumbrous atmosphere is achieved
by the use of shades of darker colors; silver, gray
and black, impacted by blows of light... suggesting
an ambiance of mystery and nocturnity. The figurative
elements allude to Oggun, the orisha warrior, and on
the center left of the work, the weapons attributable
to this orisha: the ax, the pick and the horseshoe...
showing on the upper right are, the bow and the
three arrows, the tools of the hunter...”

Juan Roberto Diago is the definitive bridge
between the Afro Cuban spiritual artistic avant-
garde, embodied in the art of his distinguished
predecessors, internationally Twentieth Century
Masters Wifredo Lam and the renowned elderly
contemporary Master Manuel Mendive.
This trilogy of talent, Lam–Mendive–Diago,
have elevated the significance of Afro descendant
contributions to a level of recognition where
now the legacy of this race is unquestionably
indispensable to understand the cultural
essence of the arts in Cuba.
