Arien Xuan Lopez was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1971. His paintings are not only an expression of profession and imagination. In his landscapes of Cubaand other places -while colorful and everyday elements of urban erosion, as in the very personal figuration, where it merges with the expressionist dream-, you may find signs of his own life. There are, turned into prints or unique visual metaphors, traces of the atmosphere and social environment where he lived. His interest in comics and science fiction, approach to the mysterious and occultism, shared in times of youth and a critical view of historical happening. Internalized, furthermore, the development of a personality that has cast this vocation for art, the desire to draw since childhood, the sense of visual order acquired during their professionals graphic design studios, and manual wrought domain searches against the canvas and cardboard, which reveals images of subjectivity or fulfilled roles of survival.
Buildings turned in ruins, cars from another era turned icons of memory, real mountains of garbage and corrosion flooding the public arena, and from all walks of life in unusual, served to structure a poetic autobiographical revelations that transcended memorial aspect, and also function as an evocation getting hedonistic. It is a modus operandi pictorial in which the ability to see and obvious technical skills, allow you to extend the record of the landscape to other circumstances, places, reasons and applications.
On the other side of artistic execution where the plastic image functions as a system that brings to light and comes to life in his consciousness and fantastic appreciation, it shows their interest always magical, unearthly, cosmic andparasychological. Such signs as connected in some way with postmodernist iconography, allow you to deploy deliberate mixtures and distortions in the figures that he uses his language become a painter and artist in a way to give shape to this another dimension a bit of dreams and nightmares which integrates the real and fictional worlds. His works are so well resolved emission, designed to communicate their ideas to suggest the presence of some of the scars and pains set in the insular area where he was born, and to establish a dialogue with viewer’s imagination on the basis of emotions, various reasons and speculations.
His Work has been featured in publications such as The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and Miami Art Guide.
Arien Xuan Lopez has participated in various national and international exhibitions.
