About the Work: Esterio Segura uses planes as a recurrent motif to
represent the idea of flying as a metaphor of freedom
and the ideals of modernity.The work belongs to a
recent series of paintings and tableaux that poetically
makes use of different elements such as hybrid
animals with airplane wings, or anthropomorphic
modes of transportation that address Cuba’s isolation,
constraint and impotence against various forms of
restrictions, such as travel prohibition on the island
and the struggle of the Cuban people to communicate
with the outside world.
