Description

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a signed original artwork by the acclaimed Cuban engraver and painter Ramón Rodriguez, widely known by the pseudonym Manglar (born 1958). A prominent figure in the Pinar del Río artistic movement, Manglar is celebrated for his "hallucinatory figurative" style, which masterfully weaves Cuban mythology and grotesque anatomical forms into complex, textured compositions.

This particular piece, titled La Emboscada (The Ambush), features a distorted mythological figure typical of the artist's exploration of rural folklore and shapeshifting entities. The work is executed as an illuminated collograph on heavy, deckle-edged handmade paper, highlighting the artist's sophisticated technical approach to printmaking.
