Cañeros Drawing

Son of the Caribbean, with Spanish, African, French and Chinese blood, Hans Christian Vergara, born in 1975 in the province of Ciego de Avila, is the heir of the rich cultural heritage of this island. His paintings, with bright colors, marked by the Afro-Cuban beliefs and the abundant life of the tropics, emit mystery and magic. They reach deep into Cuban universe, but are not limited to that. Because this self-taught artist is essentially a nomad. Cuba, Europe, Oceania… Surveying the world, discovering others places and others peoples are feeding his being, his imagination. His work reflects this travels, this encounters. They testify the artistes’s reflections on the human being, on his cultures an his ritual practices. On the specificity and on the universality of the human spiritual consciousness. On the energy networks that run our universe and on the place and the function that man occupies among it. The works of Hans Christian Vergara attempt to reflect this amazing mapping, invisible to our eyes. Besides painting and art installations, he also carries graphic and digital works for the publication domain.
