Florangel
The
paintings of Florangel, a Cuban artist, can
be placed between the limits of dream and reality,
similes that blur and intermix, not allowing
the two elements to be separated. They place
us in front of paintings vigorous in color,
utilizing large spaces that support a painting
that is flat and eminently decorative, sometimes
approaching the poster, a danger that she avoids
with pictorial ability and instinct.
Because
her technique is mature, and because she possesses
the many resources of a great painter. In her
very lyric work we can see, or maybe suspect,
some element close to the NAIF movement, from
which she captures so much freedom. There is
also some surrealism, which somehow takes her
afar from the expressionist component and from
her innovative narrative sense. Her fine sensibility
takes us to images filled with nostalgia, as
in her canvas “Resignation in a Havana
Terrace”, an evident sample of her narrative
power, that world of which only she holds the
key, and that she allows us to see in her splendid
work, for world enjoyment and our new hopes.
