Cuban artist Lázaro Batista presented some of his most recent works in the U.S. capital on Tuesday, as part of the celebrations for Cuban Culture Day.
During the meeting, Batista commented that his works are inspired by his religion and have, in addition, small nuances of jazz, a musical genre of his preference.
For this Cuban native of Havana, art has been his greatest joy. Through art I express my feelings, my emotions, my religion and my tastes," he said.
The exhibition was also attended by the outstanding artist Carmen Torruella-Quander and art curator Carol Rhodes-Dyson.
During the conversation, a space was dedicated to the reading of poems, as well as a commentary on Cuban culture. The artists were also grateful for the presence of officials from the Cuban Embassy in Washington D.C. at the meeting.
The event took place at one of the BusBoys and Poets venues, who since last Saturday have carried out a series of activities in celebration of Cuban Culture Week.
