Havana, Cuba, 2 September 2016

.

This image is the odd one out because it is in the Cathedral.

.

Our guides took us for a drive to Callejón de Hamel.

.

This is a Havana street that is a work of art in itself.

.

It is all the work of one person, Salvador Gonzáles Escalona.

.

Except for this, which is called “Small cat sleeping” by Mother Cat.

.

Though known as Afro-Cuban art, he describes his work as a mixture of surrealism, cubism and abstract art.

.

It al;so references the Santería religion, brought by slaves from the West African religion of the Yoruba, and influenced by Roman Catholicism.

.

He has been creating art works in Callejón de Hamel since 1990.

.

This is a different kind of object of religious veneration.

.

Nearby street scene.

.

Definitely a place worth a visit.
