🌾 “La Guayabera” – Los Carpinteros
A project that sows identity.

This visionary work imagines a guayabera—a symbol of the Cuban peasant—transformed into a cultivated landscape, in a poetic act of land art. Each line of the fabric suggests furrows in the earth, where small crops sprout as if the garment itself gave life.

With a view from the sky, “La Guayabera” becomes a territory, a field, a cultural memory planted with vegetables, rice, or essence. A piece that fuses tradition, conceptual art, and Cuban territory with symbolic force.

🌱 What if a garment could cultivate the soul of a people?
Collect this unique vision of contemporary Cuban art.

Vladimir de León Llaguno (Havana, Cuba, 1963) is a multidisciplinary artist of great relevance in contemporary Cuban art. A 1981 graduate of the San Alejandro National School of Fine Arts, he has developed a visual language that combines painting, drawing, silkscreen printing, printmaking, installation, video, and performance.

In the 1980s and 1990s, together with Eduardo Marín, he founded the graphic collective Equipo N**o, which was highly influential in Cuban visual art due to its iconoclastic and provocative spirit, as evidenced by the poster "Young Plastic Artists Dedicate to Baseball" (1989).

Vlado's work is distinguished by a critical, caustic, and reflective perspective on culture, consumption, symbols, and collective memory. His narrative and ironic works blend visual references from art, advertising, design, and film, generating a fragmented pictorial discourse that traverses the social and the personal.

His recent work includes pieces such as Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man (2022), So What (2022), Ida y Vuelta (2017), Autocultivo Interior (2000), and Abducción Sin Regreso (2019), which demonstrate his use of acrylic on canvas with complex, allegorical, and dense visual atmospheres.

Vlado has exhibited regularly at the Zapata Gallery (Miami) and participated in various international fairs and exhibitions. His work is part of museum collections such as the Meguro Museum of Art (Tokyo) and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum (Minneapolis).

François Vallée describes him as “an ethnographer, observer, sharp and sarcastic analyst,” and highlights his rejection of formalism in favor of an aesthetic of inclusion that blurs hierarchies between artistic disciplines.

Ernesto Briel (Cuba, 1943 - USA, 1992). Ernesto Briel was a pioneer of optical art in Cuba, leaving his country during the Mariel boatlift. According to Samuel Feijóo, Briel was the “purest” painter of optical art in Cuba. After years of tension, Briel left Cuba in 1980 and arrived in the United States during the rise of a new style of geometric abstractionism. Valdés points out that, in New York, Briel came across the creations of artists such as Frank Stella, Leon Polk Smith, Ellsworth Kelly, and in particular, the Cubans Waldo Díaz Balart and Carmen Herrera, with whom he developed a close friendship. Briel’s work on American soil can be interpreted as a tribute to the geometric majesty of New York, according to the collector. At a certain point, his painting incorporates metallic colors and tones, textures and shapes that evoke the architecture of the buildings, reflecting his “commitment” to his new environment. Ernesto Briel is part of the catalogue of Cuban artists who have suffered an omission in the history of island art, and who today, thanks to private efforts, have been able to create art editions that unite efforts in the effort to rescue the validity of these artistic productions.
