Yasiel Elizgaray, born 1987, A most
promising star from the younger
generation of contemporary Cuban talents.
Elizgaray's masterly uses the tools of
grotesque expressionism by subverting
the classical beauty of infancy, youth
and femininity into distorted, unsettling,
and maddening forms that expose deep
emotional and psychological unbalance
and anxiety in his characters.
The artist's application of heavy impastos
and thinner layers of paint adds to the
tension of composition.
His hopeless involuntary sitters are
inspired by everyday people that he
sees and imagines from his immediate
surroundings.
Ramón Cernuda
