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.”

ROGER TOLEDO
Roger is a searcher and a researcher, an innovator of technique and a student of color. He is a formal minimalist owing as much to Seurat as he does to Albers. His contemporary landscapes vibrate with a subdued ambience generated from a mathematical approach to color pairing and composition. For many of his series he creates a proprietary coded system based on color theory studies to produce his own color maps, breaking the painting down into an advanced
paint-by-numbers grid. He will often build up layers of texture with acrylic medium pressed through metal screens.
At times the sculpted depths read like the braille of a new genre that might be considered Neo-Pointillism.
Born in Camagüey, Cuba in 1986, Roger graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in Havana where from 2011 until 2017 he served as a professor of Painting and Criticism. He has taken part in several artistic residencies, academic exchanges, exhibitions and has received awards and recognitions. His work is included in private collections in Europe, Latin America and the United States.
He currently lives and works in Havana, Cuba.
