Ibrahim Miranda

Art Brokerage: Ibrahim Miranda Cuban Artist: b. 1969. Ibrahim Miranda is a painter, engraver, professor and pioneer of contemporary Cuban art. His technique of texturally layering maps and images allows him to reimagine the borders of Cuba, expanding the possibilities for all that the country can represent. He explores themes of isolation and metamorphosis through the changing psychological landscape of his cartographic work, entwining it with his own personal history and relationship to the land. Miranda's Mapaglifos series imaginatively redefines the borders of cities as animals, ascribing symbolic meaning to each metropolis and chronicling the shape-shifting nature of our annexed world.
