Luis Saldaña, Serie Agua Especular XIX, 2024

A note from Aldo

Luis Saldaña: For those who survive the crossing, the ocean can become a road to freedom.

Water is one of the central elements in the art of Luis Saldaña. Working in the traditional medium of oil on canvas, the Cuban artist captures its endless movement and shifting reflections.For Saldaña, a Cuban artist living in exile, the ocean becomes both a physical and symbolic presence: a boundary separating one life from another, but also a possible passage toward freedom.

In his paintings, the sea is therefore more than a landscape. It becomes memory, uncertainty, longing, and hope.
