Sueño cubano, 2010Mixed media on canvas, 90 x 70 cm.

[…] That man leaning on the almost infinite table dressed with a tablecloth but naked, is not crying of anguish. I prefer to be sure that, with humbleness, that same man leans arms and head and allows the strength of his prayer to grow deep inside. A prayer that no one will ever again turn his head in the face of mockery, abuse, violence, misery or pain of the people of this or any other world. A prayer to end once and for all with indifference. 1
