- Rafael Soriano, born Cidra, Province of Matanzas, Cuba 1920-died Miami, FL 2015
- Exhibition Label
- After migrating to Miami in 1962 in the wake of the Cuban Revolution, Soriano embarked on a new semiabstract visual vocabulary that helped him transform his feelings of nostalgia for home and country into a creative process of spiritual renewal. The fiery yellows, radiant oranges, and rich browns suggest the sultry climate of the Caribbean, but the fantastic quality of the landscape indicates a personal journey into undiscovered realms dense with cosmic undertones.
