Maxima invites you to enjoy the interview with Douglas Perez Castro.

This is not the first time Maxima interviews Douglas Perez Castro, nor will it be the last. We still have many conversations to decipher or at least understand the creative ethos of the artist. And one of those opportunities will be next Friday, November 27, starting at 10:00 a.m., just on his 48th birthday.

On the social networks YouTube, Instagram IGTV, Facebook and Tumblr will be available this sort of fruitful dialogue, with one of the most prolific creators of our catalog. A painter par excellence full of lights, colors and intentions with a peculiar style.

With the same dexterity, Douglas creates in large, small and medium format several different series. Sometimes it is a little difficult to know that it is the same painter, because of his quality to unfold and give life to costumbrist works, referring to the Cuban colonial past, while at other times the figuration takes on a futuristic and alienated aspect, or simply becomes a picture of Havana's Vedado. That is the artist who will appear before the public following his work.

"For many years I have carefully studied each of these proposals at the image level. I have found a propitious scenario to comment on the Cuban reality, the reality that surrounds me and, in particular, myself as a subject in that context, in addition to making an approximation signifying the problems we have to face on a daily basis," the artist said some time ago.

Next Friday, an appointment with contemporary Cuban art through one of the most singular creators is the gift of our space to those who believe in art as a source of progress and welfare.
