Hector Frank employs in these works an understanding and appreciation of material quality and the potential for reuse that exists little outside of a place like Cuba, an understanding that has allowed him to create this aesthetically complex, multi-faceted new form of portraiture that poetically captures the essence of his people. Currently, living and working in Havana Cuba, Hector Frank has a professional following and defined respect within the creative art community in Havana.
