about Gustavo Díaz Sosa
Cuba, 1983
The painter Gustavo Díaz Sosa graduated in Fine Arts from the San Alejandro Academy in Cuba, with a Gold Medal in 2002. The artist Gustavo Díaz Sosa taught painting at the Fine Arts Department of San Alejandro, and came to Spain on a scholarship from Arteleku, San Sebastián. He studied in different engraving, lithography and screen printing workshops between 2004 and 2007 and experienced constant growth in his career up to the present with solo and group exhibitions.
Gustavo represents the rabid contemporaneity that questions essential elements of life to which we cannot find an answer, capturing landscapes inspired by a Kafkaesque gaze in his works. Through his dystopian universes with infinite towers of Babel, he is in charge of breaking down taboos on matters so intrinsic to human nature such as the acceptance of death, faith or spirituality. His first referents and from where Díaz Sosa extracts his 'maniera', freedom, line and stain were Joseph Beuys and Anselm Kiefer.
