Actually, they are paintings, part of “Evas”, an exhibit by painter Vladimir Leon Sagols, was inaugurated yesterday.

 
With these paintings, which show female bodies without clothes portraying tiredness and indifference, the artist highlights awkward realities rather than beauty.

 
Writer Reinaldo Montero noted that the masterpieces look perfect, and at the same time seem to be unfinished. He added that the “Evas” de Sagols should be the fruit of a hidden experience of the artist.

 
Leon, who graduated from the San Alejandro National School of Fine Arts and has participated in a dozen personal and collective exhibits, explained that he is not very fond of titles because they turn work pieces into concepts and confessed that the spirit of the Cuban painter Fidelio Ponce de Leon is present in some of the paintings.

 
During the inauguration of the exhibit, which will be open to the public until May 2, a specialist in sacred art in the convent, Orlando Gomez, affirmed that the exhibition is full of culture and history.


Gomez pointed out that “Evas” is a real homage to women.
