They call him Cuba, because his name is Adri\u00e1n Cuba (Havana, 1965), and he is a very unique artist, who does not discriminate when creating, surfaces or supports. Since visually the world seems insipid to him, he tries to wash its face and decorate it with figures and colors. If he sees a coffee pot, he immediately wants to decorate it. The walls, whether of a hotel or a children\u2019s hospital, incite him and challenge him. He travels through the streets of his city by car, on foot, and… in dreams that are going to be filled with meticulous brush strokes. His thing is to paint, which he assumes as fate (something that is going to happen inexorably), as a mission, and as a destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMontecristo,\u201d 2016. Cedar humidor with capacity for 200 cigars, according to vitola. Acrylic and varnish on wood, 50 x 30 x 35 cm. It recreates the symbols of a stage and the color of the brand in a colonial setting: Bay of Havana, Casablanca in the background, commercial steamer that transported Cuban tobacco to Europe, the tobacco plant, the bales of raw materials.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He has a degree in Design and has also ventured into ceramics and set design for television. His works have been exhibited, in personal and collective exhibitions, in Cuba, Spain, France, Panama, Italy, Mexico, and the United States. His ceramic or painted murals are located in institutions in several provinces of the island.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2010 he has decorated humidors, an activity for which he is mostly known. Since then, more than 45 pieces have left his workshop and can be found in a dozen countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cF\u00e1brica Cohiba,\u201d 2017. Cedar humidor with capacity for 150 cigars, according to vitola. Acrylic and varnish on wood, 47 x 32 x 25 cm. Building in El Laguito, west of Havana, where the Coh\u00edba tobacco manufacturing company, a world-leading brand, created after 1959, was and still is located.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He tells us:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral years before thinking about painting humidors, I started smoking cigars, in honor of my grandfather, a great fan of cigars. He had friends with whom he shared conversatios and smoke, and there was always that smell that reminded me so much of the old man. Time passed and, as an artist, I am invited to a smokers club, El Balc\u00f3n del Habano. A monthly pairing was made there with different brands of tobacco and rum. I made many friends in that environment; some, the greatest experts on the subject. And I started studying that fascinating world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cPartag\u00e1s y nada m\u00e1s,\u201d 2018. Cedar humidor with capacity for 200 cigars, according to the vitola. Acrylic and varnish on wood, 45 x 30 x 25 cm. Partag\u00e1s factory building, founded with the brand in 1845. Calle Industria 174, at the back of the Capitol, Old Havana. The first lithography workshop associated with the tobacco industry was located there. The manufacturing and marketing of cigars served as an impetus to develop the printing industry in Cuba.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI was interested \u2014 and still am \u2014 in the art behind the cigar. And I was captivated. Thus, I began to decorate some little boxes to give to those new friends, until one day \u00c1ngel Miranda, director of the Sikerei project, stumbled upon one. He told me: \u2018I love it. Could you paint me a humidor?\u2019 I accepted, but I didn\u2019t know that he wanted to exhibit it at the Partag\u00e1s Festival, for which there were only four days left. They were feverish and happy days in which I literally did not sleep. I delivered on time, the piece was exhibited, and it sold immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how the challenge was born. A challenge, yes, because those who acquire this furniture are, in general, cultured, sensitive people, who want a beautiful object that does not fail to fulfill the function for which it was created: optimally preserving cigars. A humidor is not a painting, it is a three-dimensional piece of furniture that must be turned into a work of art. Historically, they were always sober and elegant wooden furniture, with different shapes and even inlays. Already being intervened by an artist, there is a big risk, and that is that in the end, it is a decorative piece of furniture, that expresses status, a pride, and inside treasures the most precious thing of its owner, the cigars. The danger is that the artist tries to impose what is characteristic of his work on the piece of furniture when what is desirable and wonderful is to surrender to the humidor, connect with it, know what it is going to represent, and honor the content it will contain. He must express in some way the pleasure of tasting a good cigar. The humidor is as important as the tobacco leaf drying house in the field; therefore, turning this object into a support for art means harmoniously concatenating its five faces, and even the interior. Not easy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFlor de tobacos,\u201d 2015. Cedar humidor with capacity for 150 tobaccos, according to vitola. Acrylic and varnish on wood, 68 x 45 x 38 cm. Facade of the Partag\u00e1s factory building and Pinar del R\u00edo tobacco plantation in Vuelta Abajo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cA painted humidor does not represent, in itself, the artist\u2019s work, but rather the artist\u2019s feeling towards the cigar, the spirit that emanates from each cigar with its aroma. It is respect and pride for the tradition of the many smokers who have been, and the affection and admiration for those old lithography artists who adorned the brands of the best tobacco in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy the decoration of each humidor. When I finish it, I sit down with it and smoke a cigar, accompanied by a good a\u00f1ejo. In silence we say goodbye. I know that it will go far away, but I also know that its owner will take good care of it and that it will pass from generation to generation of smokers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The humidors<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHistoria de Partag\u00e1s,\u201d 2016. Cedar humidor with capacity for 300 cigars, according to vitola. On a postmodern structure, the humidor recreates part of the graphic and architectural history of Partag\u00e1s, mixed with other emblematic sites of Old Havana related to the brand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have not been able to find the exact information. It escapes me when the first of these beautiful pieces of furniture was created. I suppose it must have been due to some artisan in a European country, because there, due to the dry climate, the tobacco quickly loses its properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humidors or humidifiers \u2014 which can be called all of these things \u2014 are commonly made of mahogany, ocum, or cedar. They are usually equipped with a hygrometer \u2014 to measure the degree of humidity inside \u2014 and a thermometer. Its function is to prevent the cigars from drying out (which is why distilled water is usually supplied to the rechargeable humidification system), to preserve it from insect attack and to preserve its aroma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acrylic and varnish on wood, 45 x 35 x 25 cm. The work reflects the four fonts that were used to establish the brand from its beginnings until today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For optimal storage of tobacco inside humidors, humidity should range, according to experts, between 65 and 72%, and the temperature should not be below 16 or above 18 degrees Celsius. Under such conditions, it is stated that tobacco can maintain its qualities indefinitely, but other experts on the subject set the storage limit at five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cuba, two international events are held every year that focus on promoting the best tobacco in the world. These are the Habano Festival, which in 2024 will take place from February 23 to March 2, and the Friends of Partag\u00e1s Festival, which traditionally occurs in November.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recreates the fa\u00e7ade of the Partag\u00e1s factory and some corners of Havana, 70 x 40 x 45 cm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In both, premium humidors illuminated by Adri\u00e1n Cuba are usually displayed; they can also be found, along with those decorated by other figures of national art, such as Roberto Gonz\u00e1lez and Zaida del R\u00edo, in Sikerei Art Gallery, Galiano 191, Havana, headquarters of the \u00c1ngel Miranda project, who provides these artists with such furniture, useful as well as beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
