BIOGRAPHY
Evans Manuel Molina Fernandez was born in Havana,
Cuba in 1976. In November of 2004 he immigrated to the US. Evans' paintings have been
exhibited in various group and individual shows. He has also had the opportunity to pursue his other passions, performance,
music and dance. Since his arrival to the US Evans has exhibited, acted, taught dance and played his conga drums
live in various venues as well as recorded for television.
Evans' inspirations include humanity, ancestral currents, ritual, immigration, faith, legend,
home and family. His paintings are reflections converted into abstract forms. Life outside of Cuba has inspired Evans to return
with love and nostalgia to his culture and roots. Due to the US economic embargo against Cuba, Evans is prohibited
from returning to his homeland.
This
painful separation inspires Evans' art. He strives to create cultural interchange with the objective
of destroying prejudices and political blockades. His paintings call attention to history, life, the present and
the future; opening new spaces of light by which cultures and art transfer in search of understanding.
