ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This piece from Rey’s newest series is inspired by “papalotes” - kites - that he built as a boy in his native Cuba. He says, "In this series I explore themes of youthful playfulness, contemplation of my life in Cuba before emigrating to the US, and the colors of home. Most of my work includes found objects like oars and artifacts embedded in the painting. However, in these new pieces I explore the idea of “KITES” through the texture and material of fiber adhered to wood through many layers of paint. The materiality of my new series references the kite catching the wind and the sail that is part of my immigration story."

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.
