Exploring Human Emotions Through Art

Irolando Gattorno (Cuba, 1997) has built a solid career deeply rooted in emotional exploration. Throughout his trajectory, Gattorno has made the analysis of human emotions his main creative driving force, using refined technique and a confident brushstroke as constants in his artistic production.

A Fusion of Naturalism and Magical Elements

Trained in the traditional school of Ramón Jiménez in Santa Clara, Gattorno received a rigorous education in naturalism—a style he masterfully commands and enriches with magical elements. Jiménez’s teaching allowed him to develop a meticulous technique that blends precision with creative freedom.

Invitation to an Introspective Journey

Gattorno’s firm and energetic hand is evident in each of his works, where reality intertwines with the dreamlike. One of the most distinctive aspects of his work is its ability to invite the audience to explore the threshold of thought. This concept, which runs through much of his artistic production, refers to that liminal space where reason and intuition meet.

Art as a Communicative Experience

Gattorno suggests that art has the power to communicate profound truths that cannot be expressed through rational means. For this reason, he always seeks to offer a unique and personalized communicative experience for each viewer, where the artwork does not impose itself but rather engages in dialogue.

Notable Exhibitions and Shows

Throughout his career, Gattorno has taken part in numerous group and solo exhibitions, establishing himself as a significant figure in the contemporary art scene. Among his most notable solo shows are Apuntes, held at the Marta Abreu University of Las Villas; Levitaciones, at the María Porto Gallery in Madrid; and Longina, at the Pórtico Gallery.
