Description: Portela, master of contemporary Cuban art, was born (1942) in the western province of Pinar del Ro. Now he surprises us with renewed, rejuvenated and vital force in Tierra oscura (Dark land), an intense, unique exhibition, not just because of its portrait-like depictions of landscapes, but also because of the way Portela has fragmented every painting.
