The apparisal of this painting at Heritage Auction was $5000. I started this painting in search for more realistic expression resources, taking as a reference system the Russian artist Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832 - 1898). I chose the paining “Near the Coast of the Gulf of Finland” 92 cm (36.22 in.) X 146 cm (57.48 in.), oil on cardboard, 1889, State Russian Museum - Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation - St Petersburg) as a model. This is a composition with a peculiar expression strength suggesting different possible scenarios, and it could be the starting point for many other paintings (J. Soc Stu. Edu. Res. 2018, 9 (2): 160-171). Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin is well-known as a great master of the Russian painting. His paintings can be found at the State Russian Museum, and in many other collections. His detailed depiction of every elements of a composition is actually amazing, but my major motivation has been the idea of creating dark, enlighten, cloudy, and many other environments from the same composition, and introducing changes to the original. His paintings are also stimulating to reach more realistic and expressive paintings to transfer other messages to art lovers. I hope to find much more during the study of his paintings in preparation for more challenging projects.

I was born on June 29, 1965, in Havana, Cuba. I have been collecting and analyzing information to complete “The Fidel Micó Catalogue Raisonnée” (Art Documentation 2015, 34 (2): 349-353), and writing on relevant events (Mass Communication and Journalism 2015, 5:3). This non-profit research project, submitted to the Catalogue Raisonnée Scholars Association (CRSA) and the International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR), is available for free download. My research interests have included ambidextrous painters, blind painters, landscape painting, appraisal and valuation of artworks, art market interactions, and the matrix of the art world. I started independent research on painting after a visit to the studio of the ambidextrous painter Fidel Micó, and informal meetings with artists of the Cuban artistic movement known as “Horizontes”. I am working on detailed examination of paintings at the Mico’s studio, and learning oil painting on canvas from this Cuban contemporary artist. I decided to paint oil on canvas because I found in the work of Wifredo Lam that most human perceptions cannot be represented and transferred to other persons by writing and speaking. Undoubtedly, visual arts and music hold critical roles to improve human condition and transcendence at global scale. I am one of those persons who paid attention to the fourth word of the statement “Science is the art of doubt.” I also agree with Prof. Julian Stallabrass on the idea that art should be made for everyone (Art History 2014, 37 (1): 148-165), and, turning back to Lam’s work, I can feel energy coming far beyond we can see, smell, taste, hear, and touch. Something between “rigorous explanations of reality” and “blind faith” remains to be incorporated into human live and evolution.
