Ernesto Estevez (Cuba 1967 -)


About

Ernesto Estevez was born in 1967 in Havana, where he currently lives and works. He is a self-taught artist.His works have been part of many exhibitions that celebrate the landscape genre. Among those we can mention the First National Salon of Landscape VICTOR MANUEL, in Havana, Cuba; El paisaje nunca es el mismo. Galería Orígenes, Havana, Cuba; Nuevos horizontes, Museo Cultural de Artes Gráficas, DF. Mexico; and Pintura Latino Americana de Ahora Exhibition. Naples Museum of Art, Naples, Florida. He has been represented at several art fairs such as ARCO, Madrid, Spain; Arte Américas. Miami Beach, Florida; and Pinta, New York.

Influenced by his experience and his contact with nature as a photographer, Estevez decided to paint. He is part of a group of landscape artists whose roots can be traced to artists that came to Cuba, particularly those who came during the XIX Century such as Henri Cleenewerck, Esteban Chartrand and Federico Mialhe among others. Their admiration for the Cuban landscape served as inspiration for a vast body of work. Estevez takes from these artists their main theme and also formal aspects such as palette and compositions. However, he achieves a very personal way of portraying the Cuban landscape through his unique paintings.
