ROBERTO DIAGO (B. 1971) Untitled (from the series Motivos de Bosque) signed, inscribed and dated 'R / Diago Juan Roberto Diago Durruthy 1994 De lo serie 'Motivos de Bosque'' (on the reverse) oil on canvas 41 3/8 x 29 15/16 in (105 x 76 cm) Painted in 1994 Footnotes: This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. Untitled (1994) belongs to an early phase of Roberto Diago's career, in which the painted surface becomes a site of symbolic and rhythmic inscription. The composition is structured through layered bands, repetitive signs, and an earthy palette that evokes memory, territory, and ancestral presence. The accumulation of motifs and the material density of the surface produce a stratified reading, where abstraction and reference coexist as traces of collective history. Executed in 1994, the work anticipates the conceptual concerns that would later define Diago's practice, particularly his sustained engagement with identity, cultural heritage, and the persistence of the unseen within contemporary experience. Diago is widely recognized as one of the most significant figures in Cuban contemporary art, known for his powerful exploration of historical memory, diaspora, and social tension through a materially rich and symbolic language.
