A major solo exhibition by Cuban artist Carlos Quintana, curated by Francois Vallée. Known for his mystical visual language, Quintana presents a bold body of work exploring the expressive and spiritual power of black as primary colour.

Each painting functions as an invocation—a visual ritual. Figures emerge from chaotic, layered grounds, echoing ancestral icons, dreams, and visions. These are not illustrations but incarnations of a personal and universal spirituality, touching on themes of death, resurrection, and transcendence.

This latest series marks a culminating phase in Quintana’s decades-long artistic journey. The works invoke the darkness of creation and the black of night—not as absence, but as origin and essence.

Quintana’s painting becomes a form of visionary resistance, confronting the commodification of art and reclaiming it as a mystical, sensory, and philosophical force. As Vallée writes, this is art not as image, but as revelation.
