  • El trabajo de Agustín Bejarano forma parte de importantes colecciones de artes públicas y privadas tanto en Cuba como en otros países.
  • El predominio de tonos ocres se enriquece a partir del establecimiento de un interesante juego de luces y sombras que delinea las escenas recreadas y dota a las piezas de gran expresividad.

[…] All his pieces are metaphorical yearnings, needs, anguishes, solitudes, dreams and desires. But there are truly humble desires such as satisfying hunger and fearsome desires unleashed by power […].

[…] 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
