Sold Out

As a Cuban, the artist also likes to smoke cigars. However, smoking cigars is only an occasional luxury for normal Cubans. Therefore, he represents the satisfaction of smoking cigars as a simple happiness and a small blessing in life. The pipe in the painting has been depicted in a surreal and imaginative way. The artist often wants to outline the "non-existent" universe he imagines, inhabited by a group of intelligent animals and species with their own civilization. Just like humans enjoying life, there are also highly intelligent species with emotions, hobbies, thoughts, etc. This painting presents a small moment of lifestyle in this universe. Invisibility does not mean non-existence. For the artist, the world he visualizes is the world that exists in his inner universe. Once he paints them out, this invisible world is brought to light.
