Toda mi produccion artistica en sentido general es un abordaje de dos grandes topicos : la exploracion de diversas zonas de lo intimo en una busqueda de lo poetico como contenido en si msimo, y el comentario socio - politico, sobre todo el directamente relacionado con Cuba, mi pais de origen. La Isla como geografia de espacio limitado, la emigracion a traves de determinados y recurrentes simbolos : el mar, peces y barcos. Ademas me interesan temas como las relaciones de poder y lo economico como flagelo existencial del hombre contemporaneo de cualquier latitud. Soy licenciado en Historia del arte y ello ha influido en la manera de abordar determinados contenidos a traves de citas y apropiaciones de artistas clasicos como lo haria un artista postmoderno, siempre que ello me sirva para apoyar el mensaje que quiero enviar.

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. Currently, the artist lives and works in the United States.
