Luis Abreux brings us a mental universe not very well-known so far, it is the mental universe of his land, an island where painting is not a luxury but a thing that emerges from under the stones, among the trees and above the roofs of Havana. Cuban painting is an outlook on life, perhaps a response to life, in any event, a scream in the face of the world. Painting is surviving, as the demons are walking down the streets, riding on horseback and with a bottle of rum in hand. (Emilio Arnao)
