Moisés González Acosta, Cuban plastic artist and engineer. Born in 1960, in Havana, Cuba. Painter, draftsman, illustrator, designer and sculptor. Since he was a child he showed great interest in the arts. His childhood passed between paintings, sculptures and letters. Over time, the family heritage screamed louder within him, firmly fueling his aspiration to be an artist. As a child he hid to model his small figures in plasticine, with an unusual perfection for his age. His constant drawings were his game. That game became a mania and the mania became his tireless need to create, which he practices professionally today. Influenced by the work of Wifredo Lam, Salvador Dalí and other greats of the art universe, he began to express his ideas in wood out of a hobby with the complex technique of inlay. Demonstrating to himself and the world that any support is good to let the imagination fly.
In Moisés' work, a kind of formal game is perceived in which imaginary zoomorphic figures converge that demystify the human figure and lead us to a fantastic world. The strange surreal atmosphere achieved gives way to multiple forms: sometimes erotic and other times full of humor in accordance with their motivations. All of them reach the dreamlike level with a varied repertoire that mixes phalluses, pregnancies, dancing tiptoes, nudes, among other expressive resources. Sometimes he shows us his legs, for him, a symbol of social bond that allows relationships, encourages contacts and reduces distances. With an evident predominance of the curved line in his artistic production, he exhibits a work that is more evocative than earthly reality. It achieves an exalted symbiosis between the classic and the vernacular. Moisés communicates the unreal, expressive freedom and a very special work in conceiving the biological organicity of the bodies of those happy and enigmatic beings, who invite us to a distant journey outside of social coexistence and the aggressiveness that surrounds humans today.
