WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
Opening Reception - October 7, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Cernuda Arte gallery is honored to be hosting a one-person exhibition of paintings by Irina Elén, one of the most notable contemporary Cuban artists in today’s scene. The show entitled, When Dreams Come True, includes 22 paintings on canvas, depicted in oil and acrylic. It will be the first time the artist exhibits her work in the Unites States. The artist will travel from Cuba to Miami to be present during this event. The show will be open to the public until November 14. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: The works featured in this solo show have, as central focus, the convergences of dreams and realities -this best understood as the connecting thread weaved by the artist to unfurl the images of her mythical universe. In the land of Irina Elén – in her personal magical world – the woman figure is the main protagonist who moves throughout diverse ethereal scenarios recreated by the artist. Committed with great passion to the realization of her splendid works, elegantly finished –of precise execution and richness– the artist succeeds at imbuing them with grace, freshness and metaphor. Symbols of beauty, joy, youth, providence and paradise abound, together with certain constants that appear and reappear in her compositions, such as– the feminine imagery, the intimate-surreal setting, the sheer pleasure of fantasy, and the marvelous sense of craft. Irina Elén’s paintings reveal a sumptuous chromatic scheme and an impressive vitality. Her meticulous and lyrical renditions are a feast to the eyes and evocative. Her body of work reflects, in essence, the bold talent of a young and promising plastic interpreter. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalogue.
