Stirring, sensuous, quizzical, and bursting with talent, Cuba’s artists hail from an island of resourcefulness, using found objects, generations of recycled materials and the country’s can-do approach. Some are formally trained, many self-taught, and the dynamism of their work is unmatched. Fields of sugarcane and farm life are the stage for Roberto Domingo Gil Esteban’s colorful works. Workshop trained, Esteban paints in the Naïve style, preferring tattered cowboys with long, worn faces and highly capable cats sporting extraordinary abilities. Esteban deploys acrylics, pencils, engraving tools, linoleum, and printing paper to capture the vibrant life that surrounds him in the Cuban countryside. His paintings are in private and public collections in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, including the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
