K adir Lopez Nieves, was born 1972 in Las Tu-nas, a provincial Cuban town, his pieces are made on top of original publicity signs of the 1950’s as supports for the photographic im-

ages of the Havana of those days. The works of Kadir have come across a swift windfall: in the course of very few years, they have whirled through museums, galler-ies and showrooms—and are also found in some of the most prestigious private collections worldwide.

Kadir incorporates serigraphic engraving, instead of traditional pigments, using the technique of porce-lain baking. The colors are applied over the steel and are actually baked separately in different con-secutive layers, until the desired design is achieved. Kadir draws and makes his own prints with ce-ramic pigments, resins, enamels and other materials that naturally allow for transparency in order to let

the photographic images of the Havana of those days show through.

“The works arise from the memory and desire to give art work form which today is nostalgia in the memory of so many Cuban born and subsequent generations; it is like infinity. The city enters the sign that was once in it. Each work completes a

cycle: past, future, present; and also oblivion, recollection, memory,” observes Lo-

pez. To view collection log on to: www.altimawww.altimawww.altimawww.altima----art.com art.com art.com art.com
