CARIBE 

This is Ramon Oviedo's painting titled Caribe. The bold, textured application of paint immediately grabs your attention. A striking contrast between the vivid red background and the somber blue figure creates a sense of unease. The figure is a study in geometric abstraction. Its blocky, rectangular form is softened by the blending of colours that suggest a face. The tooth like forms evoke the symbolic power structures inherent in human relations. The artist's focus on form and composition invites us to consider the underlying structure of human relationships within the context of the Caribbean experience. The unsettling imagery and colour palette underscore a dynamic interplay between surface appearance and underlying reality, reflecting the complex interplay of power, identity, and history. Through this interplay, Oviedo challenges fixed meanings, inviting continuous interpretation.
