Evening at an artists home in Cuba

The entire crew was invited to the home of Pamela Ruiz and her artist husband Damian Aquiles.  There was another artist there as well, Nelson Ramirez, who had art hanging through out their home.   Their home is beautiful with large rooms, tiled floors and soaring ceilings.  Artists seem to live ok in Cuba.

Metalmen
Damians work is made of metal scraps.  I really liked this piece of people marching that hung in one room.

Havanaclub
Of course we were given the classic drink when we arrived.

Metalbox
The other piece was this metal cube which I really liked and am attempting to get it home.

Livingroom
This is their living room.

Hallway

Here is a piece of Nelsons that is definitely en route to our home.

Paella
An interesting evening.  Paella was served and everyone took a seat somewhere.  People talked, drank and discussed art and Cuba.

    Curious about your method to buying new art. Is there one or do you mostly just buy what speaks to you in the moment?
