Ramon Alejandro - Tropical Surrealism
View through Artsy
The canvas on the easel and several paintings hung on the walls are covered with voluptuous, oversize fruits and vegetables: cherimoya, okra, mamey, papaya, bananas. Alejandro's sensual tropical landscapes evoke parts of the human body -- surrealistic visions intensified by the paintings' cotton-candy skies and the addition of Afro-Cuban mystical imagery.
Alejandro's passion for literature has been the enduring theme of his life. Words, he says, inspire his figurative paintings.
