The vibrant, childlike paintings and sculptural works of Wayacón (born Julian Espinosa Rebollido in Cuba, 1931) burst with raw expressiveness and joyful imagination, inviting viewers into fantastical worlds created by an artist who thrived despite extraordinary challenges. His distinctive naive style—developed entirely through intuition without formal training—transforms everyday materials into richly textured masterpieces where buttons, wood pieces, and even kitchen utensils become integral elements in compositions that dance with color and spontaneity. Wayacón’s art captures the essence of resilience and creative freedom, offering a rare opportunity to experience works that speak directly to the heart through their unfiltered authenticity and visual exuberance.

Visit Wed-Sat between 12-6 PM, or by appointment Sun-Tues.
