Carlos Estevez
Havana, Cuba, 1969

______________________
De werken van Carlos Estevez vormen een studie naar het wezen van de mens. Zijn zoektocht is van religieus-filosofische aard en resluteert in conceptuele installaties en tekeningen. Hij wordt geinspireerd door de encyclopedie (als samenballing van menselijke wijsheid) en door de grote (Duitse) denkers die werden gedreven door instinct en inwendige noodzaak.
