In the contemporary art scene, Diango Hernández, born in Cuba in 1970, emerges as an emblematic figure. During the post-Soviet economic crisis of the 1990s, Hernández began to distinguish himself in the Cuban cultural scene through his involvement in various collective initiatives.
Founding the duo Ordo Amoris Cabinet with Francis Acea, he quickly gained notoriety by exhibiting his works in Europe and North America. Moving to Europe in the early 2000s, he continued his artistic investigation, establishing himself as one of the leading exponents of the American conceptual legacy.
Diango Hernández’s works, exhibited internationally, deal with themes such as cultural identity, the influence of politics on daily life, and investigate the relationship between light and desire, earning significant awards such as the Rubens Prize in 2009.
