INTENCIÓN DEL ARTISTA
La obra de Luis Cabrera se basa fundamentalmente en un uso muy particular del collage combinado con un fino sentido del humor. Es una obra llena de citas en torno a la imaginería creada por la
historia del arte a través de los tiempos. Su obra es una mezcla heterodoxa que se forja en su cabeza a modo de “collage-mental” que devuelve al papel a través de sus manos. Todo esto aderezado de un
delicado sentido del humor que forma parte de la herencia cultural de sus raíces cubana de donde proviene.
STATEMENT
Luis Cabrera's work is fundamentally based on a very particular use of collage combined with a fine sense of humour. It is a work full of quotations from the imagery created by the history of art
through the ages. His work is a heterodox mixture that is forged in his head in the form of a "mental collage" that he puts back on paper through his hands. All this seasoned with a delicate sense of
humour that is part of the cultural heritage of his Cuban roots from where he comes from.
