We meet Orestes Larios, a Cuban artist who is known to look at nature with the aesthetic vision that only an art lover and creator can have.

As we contemplate his paintings, we see a different world crowded with details of flowers and plants in harmonious ranges of green as this natural world is seen through the animal presence, everything is made with exquisite taste.

Suddenly, we move over to different world which is that of the artist. This one is manifested by means of geometry. In his work, those squares and rectangles which are used to set the limits of the spaces are quite peculiar. They are used to alter our vision.

For a moment we attentively contemplate leaves and flowers but in another the vision diffuses as if the world were out of focus. Nevertheless, sometimes we see animals that should be in its context but are over a neutral space. This makes no sense, but actually it does in the fantasy of the artist.

Orestes Larios' work, which can be seen in Catarsis Hall, is beautiful by itself. The sensuality of its colors is complemented by means of that taste for the sobriety that infuses the spectator with peace and a quietness. These are hard to get in a world like ours ruled by haste and anguish. Here we have a renown Cuban painter who knows how to fit the love for nature and unquestionable source of beauty, with a refined taste for the artistic. Larios knows how to render his particular vision (as only a creator can do) of something we all see but are incapable of shaping on a canvas.
