Museum Description

Soñador

Counterpart to the Realist, the Dreamer levitates elegantly above the waterline, his daggers and blood are replaced by a red flower and a bird, traditional symbols of peace and freedom. His gaze does not meet ours; instead, his almond-like white eyelids are closed. He is in a trancelike state, removed spiritually and intellectually from the realities of his destiny. In these two compelling works, Luna captures in microcosm, the essence of the Cuban condition and, in macrocosm, the dual nature of the human condition.
