Surprising and lively: Cuban painting has the great power to make us experience the Caribbean spirit that animates this fabulous island. The bold strokes, the warm and strong colors, the choice to reproduce images of life, of everyday life, of its traditions and customs... give us the feeling of being there too, in Havana, a city so alive, real and surreal at the same time. We almost perceive its rhythm and hear its music in the background...
The prints of works by Cuban artists proposed in the already rich catalogue of Il Mercante di Stampe, have a folkloristic flavour and a great impact on Cuban popular culture: the painting comes alive with sounds, lights, voices and allows us to experience the "real Caribbean movida" up close.
There is no shortage of famous reproductions of typical local shops , the vintage cars that have always been the distinctive and recognisable element of Havana, the capital, the very famous image of the Havana Club , a brand of Cuban rums famous throughout the world, the depiction of a child screaming, singing, rejoicing: a strong symbol that fully describes the free and lively life of the most famous island in the Caribbean archipelago.
These works are perfect to give as gifts or to treat yourself to as home decor: perfect for travel lovers, for big dreamers, for the curious, for those who feel like citizens of the world, or for those who simply want to take home a piece of healthy, fun, colorful Cuban culture and pictorial art.
