The artist
Hans Christian Vergara was born in Cuba in 1975 into a family of Spanish, African, Chinese and French origins. Self-taught, he developed a unique pictorial language, nourished by the cultural richness of his native island and his travels through France, New Caledonia and Oceania.
His enigmatic and captivating works blend Afro-Cuban mythology — orishas, egguns, virtuosos — with the universal icons of humanity. A syncretic, poetic universe in perpetual motion.
