Nelson Garcia-Miranda
March 15, 2007 (No End Date) |
|
Times: Call for times
Visit Website
Location: Deseo
Phone: 480-624-1030
Admission: N/A
The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa’s signature restaurant, deseo, has transformed into an art gallery, showcasing the work of Cuban artist and resort associate, Nelson Garcia-Miranda.
Addl. Info: Garcia, who works as a steward for the property, came to Phoenix in 1999 after seeking political exile from Cuba. Displacement has made him more aware of his cultural heritage which he depicts in his work in a style called, “cubanidad.”
Rich in color and complex in theme, Garcia-Miranda’s paintings embody the tales of the Cuban countryside, brining to visual representation fables and stories of cagüeiros (sorcerers who become animals), and güijes (Cuban goblins). His work is saturated with the exuberance of the tropics as his vibrant use of color may be read as visual representations of poly-rhythmic Cuban music, also conveying the forceful light of the Caribbean meridian.
