This painting was designed by a Cuban-based collective of artists known as Los Carpinteros (The Carpenters) in 2008. Los Carpinteros focus on creating surrealist-inspired sculptures, large scale installations and drawings by transforming common domestic objects and urban structures into inventive, grand images. Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodriguez construct works that are structurally beautiful but often humorous in an effort to confront viewers and challenge their thinking regarding items that populate our lives. Over the years, Los Carpinteros have gradually transitioned from strictly focusing on Cuban history to incorporating a more global, peripatetic-influenced practice. Los Carpinteros are an interesting collective of artists because they aren't restricted to one particular area of art, over time they have adapted their style to include different themes in their works.
