Oscar Fernández Morera was a self-taught prolific
artist, whose preferred subjects were urban scenes,
portraits and still-lifes, mostly inspired in places,
people and elements of the province of Las Villas,
Cuba, where he was born and lived. Of his body of work,
art historian, Manuel Echevarría Gómez has written,
“We must recognize the protagonism of the light
of the tropics in his palette, the vibrancy of sun
light and the exuberance of nature in his works.”
