A visual language shaped by identity, memory, and transformation.
About the Art
Ramón Menocal’s work emerges from the intersection of history, restoration, and abstraction.
His paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces reflect the textures of Havana’s aging walls, the layers of cultural identity, and the dialogue between past and present.
Every surface he creates—whether canvas, fabric, or paper—carries traces of his early experience as a mural restorer in Old Havana.
Through gestural marks, layered pigments, and subtle color transitions, Menocal reconstructs the physical and emotional landscapes of memory.
The result is a body of work that is both deeply Cuban and universally human. His art speaks to transformation, spirituality, and the search for belonging in a global context.
From vibrant canvases to delicate works on paper and experimental installations, each piece invites viewers to see the invisible layers beneath the surface of culture and time.

The layers of Havana’s murals taught me that every surface tells a story.
In my paintings, I seek to uncover those invisible histories—color after color, gesture after gesture.”
