Waiting at the Port, with Van Gogh's Sunflower Painting

Thank you Saatchi Art for the opportunity to show my art; Welcome Curators, Collectors and art lovers. Aldo Suarez Cuban American, Artist Statement : I was born in Camaguey Cuba in 1954. The inspiration for my figurative works comes from impressions of everyday life, many of these paintings focus on the theme of women and represent them as a source of life and love. I use form, texture, and color in the contemporary dialogue between the material and the spiritual stirred by extreme texture and intentional use of color. My abstract works are conceptual pieces, they are an expression of the desires of personal feelings, feelings, desires, goals in life. Painting for me is very cathartic and it is the most articulate way to express my passion fusing introspection and visual spectacle, it is rich and colorful and intense, it captures each of my senses. My exuberant painting reflects the energy and passion for life. I am a Master of Fine Arts graduated from the San Alejandro Academy in 1983 and the I.S.A. Higher University Institute of Art, in 1991 both prestigious academies in the world, located in the city of Havana Cuba. I immigrated to the United States in 1991 and in 1997 I became a US citizen. My first personal exhibition Landscapes and Nudes was in 1983 in the house of culture of Arroyo Naranjo in Havana Cuba. My painting is collected and exhibited at the National Museum of Art in Havana, Cuba, Servando Cabrera Gallery Havana, Art Fussion Gallery Miami Design District, MAS Museum Orlando FL Gallery, Vatican City Museum, Hispanic Latin American Museum Miami FL, Casa Lala Gallery Ybor CityTampa, Euroamerica Gallery Chelsea N.Y, Nina Torres Gallery Miami FL. I have made 64 Murals in Havana Cuba and 45 in the Cities of Tampa for example (https://alphaomegaarts.blogspot.com/2013/07/cuban-artist-aldo-suarez-leads.html), and Miami in the United States. Many of my works have passed into the hands of Collectors around the World and have been sold at auctions; (https://www.artsy.net/artist/aldo-suarez/works-for-sale?metric=in) https://www.saatchiart.com/aldosuarez https://www.instagram.com/arte837ame/ https://www.facebook.com/asuarezart https://www.youtube.com/user/MuralbyAldo Asuarez Art.
