RIGOBERTO MENA IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF CUBA'S MOST RENOWNED ART VISIONARIES AND LEADING ABSTRACTIONISTS. HIS ARTISTIC STYLE IS CHARACTERIZED BY AN INTELLECTUAL APPROACH, DELVING INTO THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE AND DEPTH WHILE INCORPORATING ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. WITH THE TRAINED EYE OF AN ARCHITECT AND THE SKILLED HAND OF AN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST, MENA HAS THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM RIGID URBAN LANDSCAPES INTO A FLUID VISUAL LANGUAGE. THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER, MENA HAS GARNERED INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM WITH SOLO EXHIBITIONS HELD IN PRESTIGIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS CHINA, GERMANY, THE NETHERLANDS, MEXICO, CUBA, SPAIN, FRANCE, HOLLAND, AND THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING MIAMI, MASSACHUSETTS, WASHINGTON D.C. AND CALIFORNIA. FOLLOWING THE INAUGURATION OF HIS NOTABLE EXHIBITION TITLED "HABLANDO EN LENGUAS" IN 2011, RIGOBERTO MENA'S ARTWORK WAS SELECTED TO BECOME A PERMANENT PART OF THE ESTEEMED COLLECTION AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF FINE ART IN HAVANA.

“MENA HAS FOUND HIS PLACE IN THE RANKS OF ABSTRACTION, WHERE HE NOT ONLY EVIDENCES HIGHRANK CRAFT IN THE HANDLING OF OIL AND ACRYLIC BUT ALSO A RIGOROUS CAPACITY TO FIND THE PRECISE LIMITS OF THEIR CONTENTS AND FORMS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORKS THAT HIS LIBERTY AS AN ARTIST GRANTS HIM: THIS APPEARS VERY DISTINCTLY IN HIS MEDIUMSIZE AND LARGE FORMAT WORKS, WHICH ARE THE AREAS IN WHICH HE BEST EXPRESSES HIMSELF. PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DEFINE HIS WORK AS AN ADDITION OF THE BEST CONQUESTS OF ABSTRACTION IN OUR MILIEU, WHICH NOW APPEARS AS A TRANSFORMATION FULL OF CONTINUITIES AND RUPTURES”.
