A Vocation for Art

 Vicente Enriquez Landin is a versatile Cuban artist specializing in drawing, painting, and illustration. His creative journey began at an early age at the Vocational Workshop of Visual Arts in Perico, his hometown.

 Vicente’s artistic repertoire encompasses a fusion of traditional and contemporary techniques. His preferred mediums include acrylics, nib and ink, graphite, charcoal, and mixed media, with occasional forays into digital illustration. Driven by a profound appreciation for Art History, literature, and spirituality, his work is a testament to his passion for storytelling. Reflecting a desire for universal beauty and spiritual depth, his pieces offer a meaningful perspective in our predominantly secular world. Themes of historical enchantment, sacred reverence, and romanticism pervade his imaginative drawings and paintings, inspired by the narratives of the Old Masters, legends, fables, and the splendor of nature. His wide range of subjects includes landscapes, human figures, surreal scenes, sacral art, still life and animals.
