Series: the celestial beings of Rolando Fernández Álvarez

Rolando Fernandez Alvarez is a Cuban artist who uses paint as a discourse and language to build his inner visual universe that he carries inside. Often using celestial references and depictions of space and the moon, Rolando’s illustrations are dreamlike and wondrous. His recurring use of flora and fauna reflect the interconnectedness of the universe, nature and animals, his imagination is plunged into the fantastical and the surreal. Caribeart introduces you to a selection of his works including the most recent paintings produced in 2021.
