OCCASIONAL LANDSCAPES
SAMUEL RIERA
We join the artist on a journey of discovery to a world where precise, multi-layered, dimensional paper collages, often cut from fashion magazines, spring to life as the thriving inhabitants of Planeta Sandra. She manages to blend the whimsical and the sensual, the threatening and the sublime as she recounts the mythological folklore of a primordial world not that far from our own.
With an explorer’s eye and a botanist’s discipline, Sandra meticulously catalogs each Sandremios by genus and species as specimens deserving of further study.
In these collages, I deconstruct everyday forms to create new narratives.
Through the use of nature, science and whimsy, I invent new landscapes and environments in a visual language that is uniquely my own.
-Sandra Cordero
As curator and philosopher, Luis Ramaggio, observes, “As any respected expeditionist, she quietly observes and classifies. As a visionary. As a hungry expert. As a mentalist. Lurking around her own self, and wandering through her habits and personality, Sandra discovers that she herself is a world.”

ANIA GONZALEZ

Although Ania’s father is a master of painting and sculpture who graduated from San Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts, she is self-taught and by all accounts an untrained, outsider artist. She learned through observation how to produce art.
Her work has thick layers and extreme textures with gauze and material overlays and while she does paint other subjects, she repeatedly returns to a recurring theme; a young girl in a bathing suit or what we call “The Bathers”.
Some see a lightheartedness and a hearkening back to childhood. We find the subtle differences between each of them intriguing; the outline of the figure, the movement and thickness of the line and how it subtly affects the form of the body, some more attenuated, some more pudgy, each has their own personality and her deliberate color choices and combinations help create a separate identity for each one. How are their personalities affected by their body form?
"I like innocence, that's why I paint those uncommon girls. I want to reflect innocence, simplicity, and what a simple stroke is worth when is made in the human form and placed in several color concepts. Within a green meadow fully bloomed in a starry sky and other colors that evoke the different fantasies of the character herself. It's simply that. Innocence, childhood, delicacy, subtlety, and at the same time looking for my own personal artwork."
Her work has not been shown outside of Cuba.
