Woman II by Pavel Moraguez

Pavel Moraguez Mok of Holguin, Cuba, painted a series of paintings of women in the 1990s.  The forms of the women in his paintings are like sculpture, because he also sculpts as well as works with oil and canvas in his methods for creating art. Moraguez has painted many paintings for the Ateneo Art Cuba group.  Moraguez was trained in Moscow, in Russia as a young student and is now a full time artist in Cuba.

The art work shown here is called Woman II and one finds a woman in the forefront, a shadow in the background of another, whether angel or ghost or something just imagined.  The oil on canvas painting measures 81 x 101 cm. This painting was done in 1999.

Other works by Pavel Moraguez can be viewed here.

Painting for Survival

As previously mentioned in my last posting, many Cuban artists paint on commission to survive.  Tourists, seeking both to help the individual artists and to have a souvenir and memory of the vacation in Cuba, will hire a Cuban artist to paint their portraits.  It works both ways for the artist and the tourists who become subjects of the paintings.

This painting is by the Cuban artist, Pavel Moraguez Mok of Holguin, Cuba and features another couple from Holland who hired him to paint their portrait.  This oil on canvas painting now hangs on the walls of the home of this happy couple.

Next time you visit Cuba and you meet a talented Cuban artist, see if you can negotiate a work of art.  It both helps the artist to survive and you will receive a most unforgettable souvenir of your time spent in Cuba.  The prices for this type of souvenir are very reasonable and you can negotiate a fee with the artist.

A Couple from Holland by Pavel Moragues

One of the ways that Cuban artists have made money in order to survive is to paint for tourists who visit the island.

This is a painting by the Cuban artist, Pavel Moraguez-Mok of his subjects, a “Couple from Holland.”  This couple from Holland met the artist at one of the hotels in Cuba and commissioned him to do a painting of themselves.

This painting is acrylic on canvas and I am certain that the couple visiting Cuba were very happy with the work of art which is a personalized souvenir of their vacation in Cuba.
