This work is 19.5" x 14" (50 x 35cm). Acrylic, graphite and watercolor on paper. Done in 2022.

Eduardo Santana is a teacher of fine art at one of the Universities in Havana. He is a highly skilled artist, with a substantial degree of conceptual brilliance. Surrealism is a challenging genre for any artist. Some of the Cuban artists tackle this challenge as well as artists anywhere in the world today. Where do these influences come from?

Santana has participated in nearly 50 group shows, several solo shows, and has work in collections in Spain, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, Norway, the US, Canada, France, the UK, Italy, Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Argentina, Slovakia, and Switzerland. 

 

Throughout Latin America, the European art movement Surrealism was enthusiastically accepted by certain segments of the artistic community. Many artists were drawn to Surrealism’s emphasis on the irrational, the emotional, the personal, and the subconscious. In general, European Surrrealist artists examined “primitive” art and folk art to discover an instinctive spirit, a reference point that was relevant to Latin American artists searching to establish a distinctive art based on their own multifaceted traditions.

Highly influential in the implantation of Surrealism in Latin America was the founder of the movement, the French poet-philosopher Andre Breton. In 1934 the Chilean artist Roberto Matta, who had worked in France for Le Corbusier, abandoned his training in architecture, so that he could pursue art in Paris, where he became associated with Breton and the Surrealists. His early paintings placed nonrecognizable biomorphic forms onto a receding spatial grid. In his later works scratched and drawn figures occasionally take on the appearance of menacing Latin American generals, operating as one of the few references to his homeland in his otherwise generalized time and space.

Surrealism also allowed many Latin American artists to explore their individual ancestry. Cuban artist Wifredo Lam joined Breton and his Surrealist circle in 1940, after they went into self-exile in Martinique. When Lam returned to Cuba, he began to examine his own African heritage: his mother was Afro-Cuban, and his godmother was a Santeria priestess. He explored this heritage in his work, depicting tropical fantasies filled with forms suggestive of African sculpture, masks, and figures. This emphasis on African forms also related to his contact with the Surrealists, who saw all “primitive” (narrowly meaning non-Western) artistic expression as connected with humanity’s common subconscious forms and experiences. Lam was particularly influenced by his contact with Picasso, who early in the century had used African sculpture as an important inspiration for Cubism.

Liquid facial magic!
Scent: Coconut Water, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff. I use it daily as part of my facial routine and it has become one of those products I don’t even think about anymore because it just works. It smells good without being overpowering and does a great job of helping control excessive oil buildup on my face. Nothing harsh, nothing drying, just clean and refreshed skin. Right after using this, I follow up with a facial moisturizer and the combo works beautifully. My skin feels balanced instead of tight or angry, which is exactly what I’m going for. I know the label says men can use this as an aftershave, but that’s a hard pass for me. I stick to soothing, purpose-built post-shave products, specifically from Wholly Kaw. That stuff smells like it was handcrafted by skincare deities who truly care about your face. This toner is staying firmly in the “daily skincare” lane, where it shines. Another big plus is how gentle it is. No burning, no weird tingling, no regret. Just a calm, refreshing step that makes my skin feel like it’s being treated with respect. And the price? Under $10. That alone keeps me coming back. Honestly, I think they could charge a few dollars more for how well this performs, but I won’t complain about paying less for fantastic facial liquid magic. Simple, effective, affordable, and a permanent part of my routine. My face approves.

Lasts awhile! Good product
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Cleans without overdrying. Leave skin feeling clean, no stickiness. Pleasant light scent that doesn't linger. I get my moister from other products so this one idk if it moisturizes by itself. Good value for the money, you get a lot so it lasts awhile.

As an aesthetician, this is my go to over the counter toner. Rose is great for your skin and the ingredients in this are great. I am extremely sensitive, and this does not irritate my skin at all. It keeps it soft and clear.
