El Tiguere Painting

This work belongs to a collection called “Eso eh un cabello y ademas es tuyo” inspired by what the Dominican culture passed onto me. Thanks to one of my closest friends I was able to experience the Dominican Republic. Overwhelmed by their people, their hospitality and the Caribbean culture, I started these series as a love letter to the island and to my dear friend Carol. The piece and collection illustrates an archive of moments and feelings resulting from the unique atmosphere that the isle has, the food and the warmth of the sun. From “Diantre” to “K lo K”, the works share a personal point of view from the necessity of understanding this new and fascinating context. My aim is that people who see this work feels the same energy and warmth I felt surrounded by this amazing culture. Seeing all the pieces of this collection together is an explosion of colour that transport you to this country.
