  • Miguel Ramon Morales, Untitled 1, pencil crayon, found plywood.

    A former construction worker in Havana, Miguel Ramon Morales Diaz likes to draw on the streets, on found materials or on abandoned building walls. Recently he started to live on the streets returning home to sleep at night when a relative with whom he lives lets him enter. He now works mostly with colored pencils and pieces of found cardboard, wood, paper or textile fragments. A recurring figure seems to be a mysterious woman, usually nude or scantily dressed, standing stiffly with arms crossed  or interacting with a man in an unresolved situation. His drawings sometimes incorporate text, jokes and local slang words.

  • Josvedy Jove Junco "El Sirio", Folio 23/24 (double sided)

    Nicknamed “El Sirio”, Josvedy Jove Junco was oxygen-deprived at birth which led to learning disabilities, paranoia and hallucinations.During his young adulthood he started writing and drawing in notebooks, covering every inch of every page with images and dense text controlled by a unique calligraphy and accompanied by symbols and references known only to him. The stories he depicts are made-up fantasies and legends where real historical events are transformed into versions allowing their creator to assume different roles: he becomes a member of European royalty (“Prince of England”) who speaks dozens of languages, a Nobel prize winner, a scientist, an inventor, and so on. His most recent works combining pastel crayon drawings with crowded text written with ballpoint pen are double-sided, his drawings and enigmatic observations densely covering both sides of the notebook pages he works on. The pages are now numbered, part of a real or imaginary series that continues to unfold. (From the Series "Adulterio SocioHistorio")

Cuba: Art Brut


Like every other country, Cuba has its share of artists who create their works out of the mainstream, far from the academy, unaware of or oblivious to the “art world”, and without the need of an audience or a marketplace. Often mentally disabled or homeless, they tend to work with humble materials including found objects or discarded packaging. Notable among these are Havana based creators Josvedy Jove Junco (“El Sirio”), Carlos Javier Garcia Huergo (“Carlitos”)and Miguel Ramon Morales Diaz (“Ramon”). 

Please see the important article covering these artists in the article on Riera Studio in Raw Vision Magazine issue #95

More works by Josvedy Jove Junco (“El Sirio”) are available. Please contact us for details.
