Enough!

This artwork, like  Guernica by Picasso. It’s chaotic, raw, and full of pain—just like the reality of Cuba. This isn’t just a painting; it’s a cry for help, a mirror reflecting the suffering of a people trapped under an outdated and oppressive system.

You can see it in the twisted, contorted faces, in the way the figures seem to be fighting, screaming, resisting. There’s no peace here, only struggle. The system in place doesn’t allow Cubans to be themselves, to dream freely, to live without fear. But look closely—amidst the oppression, there’s defiance. There are prayers to Oshún, the goddess of love and prosperity, a spiritual plea for relief, for hope. There are Cubans standing up, pushing back against the weight of totalitarianism, refusing to be silenced.

This piece isn’t just art. It’s a story. It’s history. It’s the reality of a nation that refuses to be broken.
