Inspired by my artist residency work in Havana Cuba, during a very hot July 2018. Havana is a city of contrasts. Beautifully vibrant colours, music and culture, often grungy, crumbly and seemingly stuck in time. This piece celebrates the resilience and generous humanity of the many Habaneros I met. Oils allowed me to layer the light and the grunge, cool glazes on warm bases to really make the colours sing.
