ABOUT THE ARTWORK

All my artistic production in a general sense is an approach to two major topics: the exploration of various areas of the intimate in a search for the poetic as content in itself, and the socio-political commentary, especially that directly related to Cuba, my home country. The Island as a geography of limited space, emigration through certain and recurring themes that have already become recurring symbols in my work: the sea, fish and boats. In addition to universal themes such as power relations and economics as an existential scourge of contemporary man at any latitude. I have a degree in Art History and this has influenced the way I approach certain content, relying on the knowledge and tools that postmodernism offers as a trend, to put it in some way. Sometimes I appropriate or interpret symbols and content from classic works of the history of contemporary art as long as it serves to support the message I want to send. My work is a system where the form responds to my style and is always in function of composing a text where the content will have a fundamental weight. I propose an art of ideas that does not leave the receiver indifferent. I seek to provoke a dynamic and enriching intellectual reaction in the viewer.

Orlando Boffill Hernandez was born in Havana, Cuba on October 16, 1964. In 1980, he enrolled in painting and drawing classes at the Taller de Artes Plasticas under the direction of the painter and sculptor Orestes Vergel and located in the municipality of San Miguel del Padron. At the time, the Taller de Artes Plasticas was located in the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. From this experience, the artists’ group called Vigia emerged and Boffill participated with this group in various collective exhibitions. In 1985, he began his university career working towards a Master’s degree in Art History at the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Havana. After his graduation, he started to work in 1991 as a Specialist in Plastic Arts at the Galleria de Arte located in Havana’s municipality 10 de Octubre. During his employment at the gallery, he accomplished important work as curator and cultural promoter. In 1996, he began to work as an independent artist. His work has been included in more than 60 collective exhibitions and he has done 13 solo exhibits outside and within Cuba. In 2010 he worked as scenographic painter on French film filmed in Cuba. On December 2011, he traveled to Mexico where he did three solo exhibits. On January 2013, he traveled to New York City invited by Coohaus Gallery to participate in the Fountain Art Fair. His work can be found in private collections in various countries, including Cuba, United States, Korea, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Switzerland and Australia.
