Adonis Muiño Romero, Havana 1986. Painter and art professor. A graduate of the School of Art Instructors and with a degree in Social Communication from the University of Havana, he currently lives and works between Havana and Santiago, Chile. His painting practice combines traditional techniques such as oil painting with expressive gestures and symbolic atmospheres. His pieces, mostly on canvas and paper, speak of memory, the spiritual body, and the links between the visible and the emotional.
He has participated in more than thirty solo and group exhibitions in Cuba and abroad. He has received awards and honorable mentions in various art salons, including the “Salón Habana,” “Wemilere,” and the “Festival Internacional del Caribe.” His work alludes to personal histories, past eras, historical reenactments, and research, all presented through an experimental visual style in which the viewer also participates in the creation of the message. As he himself defines it, his interest lies in painting stories, with his final images (in many cases) resulting from recycling and exploring other figurative or non-figurative forms, decontextualized, manipulated, and reshaped with a new formal and conceptual purpose. Many of his works are found in private collections in countries such as Cuba, the USA, Germany, Latvia, Switzerland, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Colombia, Denmark, Canada, France, Chile, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, and Hungary, among others.
