ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Departure | 100" x 72" | Framed An ode to the weathered surfaces and exceptional textures of architecture in Rey's homeland of Cuba. The presence of antique numbers + other artifacts speak to the artist's love of both the elegant sensibility of these storied structures and the unvarnished beauty of the same as they contend to stand centuries later; a reminder of our collective resilience. Autobiographical Inscriptions in the piece include hand carved lines of poetry by the Cuban poet, Jose Mari and Rey's signature symbol of boat with oars. The boat with oars represent his journey to leave Cuba as a "balsero" in 1992. Verses from the Cuban poet, Jose Marti have been hand carved along with artifacts from the artist's travels which are riveted into the wood within the layers of paint. Ready to hang | Finished with a UV protective varnish.

Rey Alfonso
United States
Rey Alfonso is a Cuban-born artist whose mixed media paintings are energetic expressions of contemporary culture. In his art, Rey Alfonso finds resonance in motifs of water and the freedom they represent. It was in 1992, that he took to the waters in a daring escape from Cuba in a boat improvised from repurposed materials. His mixed media works are brightly hued reflections of his life's journey. Today Alfonso's pieces can be found in public and private collections in more than 40 countries. He has created works for individuals and organizations ranging from the San Francisco Opera House to the Mayo Clinic. In 2010, he was commissioned by Hilton Worldwide to create over 150 works for the private collections of the company’s owners and investors.
