About the Item

YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "SILLY TOPIC OF TWO LOVERS" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2000 31.5 X 39.5 INCHES Silly Topic for Two Lovers is exactly what you can appreciate in the painting, by the time every young couple was using the bicycle as a way of transportation in Havana, I saw that silly imagery as an excuse to talk about love. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery had three successful one-man exhibitions for him in the gallery in Los Angeles, many collectors and celebrities purchased his paintings. Martinez’ works are in collections in Germany, Puerto Rico, Chile, Mexico, Panama, and the United States: Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco. He has displayed at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, CA.
