Description

Born, raised, and schooled in Havana, Jorge Luis Álvarez Pupo continued to think of himself as Cuban even when residing abroad. His series Wandering Paths is a visual reflection on the theme of migration. Now living and working in Belgium, Álvarez Pupo said the series takes “as inspiration the moment I realized that I myself had become an immigrant, even when visiting my own country. It reflects on people who have been forced to leave their environment to face the unknown, which is not always welcoming.”

 

Nacido, criado y educado en La Habana, Jorge Luis Álvarez Pupo continuó considerándose cubano incluso residiendo en el extranjero. Su serie Caminos errantes es una reflexión visual sobre la migración. Actualmente establecido en Bélgica, Álvarez Pupo explica que la serie se inspira en el momento en que tomó conciencia de que él mismo se había convertido en inmigrante, incluso al visitar su propio país. “Refleja a las personas que se han visto obligadas a abandonar su entorno para enfrentar lo desconocido, que no siempre es acogedor”, comenta.
