“The colors became a testimony of the
people and their town, their customs
and their feelings, often taken to the
Jovellanense context. Take a look at
“Carnival” and you will already be
seeing an example of the above, where
composition, color and shapes are so
perfectly justified that we experience
the fascination of walking among
endless crowds of overwhelming mulatto
women, black partygoers, resonating
drums and the sweat of a street party.
Her effect leads us to the recreation
of an innocent hedonism, apparently
without many pretensions.”

-Guy Perez Cisneros
Adolescencia Y Pintura,
March 8, 1945, Havana.
