Artist Statement:
I am Cuban by birth, Spanish
by blood, and American by
choice. Since my career began
in 1990, my artistic
vocabulary has centered on the
explorations of these
identities. Like many
Cuban-American artists of my
generation, I have used the
feelings of exile, memory,
alienation, assimilation,
rebirth triumph and
reintegration as the
foundations of my work.
From the beginning I have
intentionally denied artistic
originality by appropriating
images from old masters, Goya,
Velazquez, Bosh and Ingres to
name a few. The aim was to
establish a dialog between
them and I, and to experiment
with the tensions between
artists at opposite ends of a
spectrum, and considerable
spans of time. Ironically over
the years my very denial of
artistic originality and my
appropriation of images has
produced an extensive body of
work which is not only
original, but has often been
referred to as " Mazonesque".
