PUEBLA
Puebla is a self-taught Neo-Cubist painter of Cuban-Portuguese descent residing in Ireland. Blending visual elements from Cubism as well as Cuban culture and the Afro-Cuban religion, Puebla offers a poignant account of his country’s social situations, while pushing the boundaries of the Cubist aesthetic and offering a revitalized perspective.
Working across various mediums such as oil, acrylic, India ink, and paper, he creates captivating pieces that fuse urban landscapes with vibrant Caribbean elements, symbolic motifs, and a rich palette of colors. Within his art, one can perceive a reflection of the environment and the ever-evolving nature of Havana, as Cubism continues to thrive and convey its powerful message.
Time is also a recurring theme in Puebla’s work. Explored as an additional dimension, it serves as the axis of the pictorial narrative. By presenting different events occurring simultaneously, Puebla emphasizes the multiplicity and interconnectivity of our lives. The artist’s intention is to convey that life unfolds as a sequence of moments, and the future can take varied paths depending on the decisions made at any given instant.
