La caridad del cobre (Our Lady of Charity)
This is a painting collage using photos and paintings made by myself. Cuba's protector is our lady of charity, also known as La caridad del cobre, yet in the middle of Habana stands a government building with a dome made of gold meanwhile the rest of the city is in ruins and people are starving. I used the image of our lady with sarcasm and replaced her with the gold dome, then portrayed the poverty surrounding her and the three men who are said to have found her in the bottom right corner, actually sailing away from her in search of new lands and opportunities.
