Lemagne’83’s work explores a symbolic universe of intense chromatic vitality, in which references to the language of Joan Miró and certain elements of African iconography converge. In this composition, figures of hunters, stylized animals, celestial bodies, and geometric symbols are distributed across a landscape of warm tones, dominated by the presence of the sun and the moon. The contrast between the intense blues of the sky and the yellows and reds of the foreground creates an atmosphere that oscillates between the ritual and the fantastical. The scene thus takes on a narrative dimension linked to the cycles of nature and the ancestral relationship between human beings and their environment.

Lemagne’83 creates work that moves between the surreal and the poetic, exploring the symbolic and metaphysical dimensions of the 20th-century avant-garde. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociocultural Studies from the University of Camagüey, Cuba (2012), and furthered his education with studies in photography in 2013. His work combines schematic figuration, abstraction, and diverse cultural references, expressed through a language of intense color. Notable among his recent exhibitions are his participation at the Thomson Gallery in Zug, Switzerland (2025); the BIARCO Contemporary Art Biennial in Armenia, Colombia (2024); “Plural,” at the Vearte Gallery in Alicante (2024), and the exhibition organized by the Alicante Artists’ Association (2024).
