Piki Mendizabal is an award-winning artist from Havana, Cuba. He was a student at Cuba's National Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro and arrived in the United States in 2008 to pursue his career as an artist. His work is inspired by his childhood growing up on the island of Cuba. Recurring themes in his artwork are the ocean, the tiny solar (slum apartment) where he grew up, and his dream world encompassing both his desires of exploring the world beyond Cuba and the surreal experience of painting what he feels within his soul. more
