RONIEL LLERENA

My creations are focused on reflecting everything that worries me and surrounds me. I look for inspiration in my personal experiences that are intertwined with the problems and contradictions of the society where I develop. My work is the result of a deep personal reflection that does not have a single starting point, but is fed by the beauty and human needs, the female figure, the ruined cities and their buildings, ships as a symbol of change and transformation, the sky that invokes transcendence and seascapes that carry my dreams, energies and hopes. As an artist, I always strive to surpass myself and look for new ways to interact with the viewer, showing the living part of my memories, so that the viewer can complete or transform the work with his interpretation and admiration. I describe myself as a constant perfectionist of my work to which I feel extremely committed. Part of this creative process and personal and professional evolution is closely related to the teaching of art; of drawing and painting to others. This I develop as part of a community workshop for young people in the community who are nourished by my experience and allow me to understand and interact with new realities. Throughout my artistic career, I have been able to develop and work with dissimilar materials, formats, techniques and styles. However, surrealism has been my passion since it has allowed me to build my own parallel world, alien to reality but part of it, where I can create and transmit sensations about the world around me. My greatest aspiration is that my work can make people reflect and contribute to break schemes, not only in Cuba but also internationally. To occupy a place inside the spectators and captivate them beyond social, religious and cultural barriers is my imminent challenge.
