Cuban Peasant

The Painting I chose today was created by Mario Perez, a Cuban artist.Mario Perez moved from Havana, Cuba to the United States as a young boy and he never attended art schools, which makes him admired by many artists due to his self-taught method of painting.
The painting I chose is called The Cuban Peasant and it depicts Cuban culture.What I enjoy the most in this painting is the method of how the painting was created,making the painting have a blurry effect. I also like the simplicity of the painting because most paintings are complex and full of multiple stories, while this one only presents one story: the story of a Cuban Peasant.
I also like the effect of movement that the painting presents, resembling as if the viewer was running and he saw the Cuban peasant sitting by himself, looking at the viewer.
