Statement
Carlos Estévez (Havana, Cuba) develops an artistic practice centred on human spirituality and the exploration of the invisible world underlying reality. Through paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations, he creates dreamlike and symbolic universes populated by automatons, fantastical architectures, cosmic geometries and chimerical creatures, where philosophy, science and metaphysics converge.
