dante korda

I was born in Habana, under the Caribbean light during the ardent years of the Cuban revolution. My process It is a mixture of technical dark room photography classical silver print, printmaking and paint on top of different types of materials as a result each of the pieces is unique in its own The idea of my art is to express visual elements with a sensorial and aesthetically point of view. My work is often characterized by our surroundings and its evolution; I perceive architecture of life as something masterful and that has evolved beyond us to reside in our visual horizon. I often represent the persistence of nature and try to recover what once belonged to her, the meaning of its contrasts and what we wouldn’t see or believe they existed otherwise.

Being related to the best Cuban photographers of the time allowed me to have access to their visions and their illusions. In a way my formation and aesthetic vision was influenced by spending this time as a spectator and pupil of Osvaldo Salas, Raúl Corrales and my father in special Alberto Korda. Through them I gained excessive knowledge and great skills and was immersed in a world where everything I perceived was through lights and shadows.
