This work contains an unusual anecdote. In 1998, I was already living in my studio in Miami, where we held an open studios event every month, and at one of those events I was told that a Cuban curator who lived in Cancun was visiting us. So, taking into account that he was exiled from his country of origin, I hid that work carefully so that he wouldnʼt see it, but while snooping through my works he discovered it and... "thereʼs a mess," I thought, and on the contrary, he loved it: - "This work is wonderful, you painted it for me, Iʼm taking it to Mexico" - he told me.
