Full of symbolism intrinsic to his rural Cuban roots, Carlos Luna's highly decorative and powerful works tell beautiful and tragic tales exhibiting the anger, sorrow, passion and hope shared by many people in Cuba. By experimenting and expanding upon the ways in which he uses media, Luna explores how memories and imagination affects temporal perception in his portrayal of personal, national and transnational awakenings.
