The dense layers of saturated pigment give this gestural work depth and with almost hidden imagery throughout, as a subtle figure appears to be surfing across the canvas of brilliant primary colors. Bold and striking, this work is heavily saturated and rich with life. Renelio’s work is split into two directions, one where lines and drawing is the primordial element. The other in which painting and color are used as conveyors of emotion and expression. The first direction of work is linked to the surrealist method of automatic drawing. Back in the early 1990’s in Havana, while Renelio was still a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, the work of psychologist Carl Jung became a major influence as to the purpose of art. Automatic drawing became the method for accessing the levels of the mind. The narrative in his accumulative drawing series is based on association. The other direction of work is painting. Painters and art movements that had a similar historical narrative to his life in Cuba during the Cod War years were his major influences. Those whose lives were entangled for many years with the politics of the Socialist/Communist countries of the Soviet bloc. Also, modern art and the impulse to better the world or at least improve life conditions. Painting for Renelio is not also a mode of expression or way to deal with personal traumas. Is also a way of becoming. See less
