Collection: Raul Enmanuel

His texture, compositions, and technical mastery continue to astound. Though his symbology tends toward the abstract, he has hinted that these paintings are representative of feminine, divine beings of a benevolent, and supportive nature. There is great power in these paintings, and the unique forms, symbols, and figures in the end, compose these lovely and highly distinctive abstract, tropical landscapes.

Enmanuel has been our top selling contemporary artist, for several years now. There are many reasons for this. He is both a conceptual genius, and a technical master. Not a combination we find in contemporary artists, often enough.

As a matter of fact, we would go so far as to say there are a minimal number of contemporary artists, anywhere in the world, with this combination of qualities. 

Several articles have been written by renowned art critics on this artist. Please inquire.

Enmanuel's work was prominently featured in the 4th season of the Fox Television's show "Prison Break". It was used to decorate the loft space in the show, and his work can be seen in a number of episodes. 

The origins of some of his iconography seem to be inspired by the early work of Wifredo Lam. One can see elements that are a reminder of this great artist's work. Though Enmanuel has used these elements as a point of inspiration, he has succeeded in making the work entirely his own. He has focused on Lam's early jungle work as a jumping off point, to create a body of symbols, and a language that depicts a reverence for Mother Nature, and his work has a power and intensity that is rarely found in contemporary art. We at MLA search for contemporary artists that have both conceptual genius, and technical mastery. A combination of qualities rarely found today, but present in abundance in the work of this brilliant artist. Enmanuel was selected to create two huge murals in Cuba. One is a 40 ft. mural at the Railway Station in Santiago, and the other is a 30 ft. mural in the lobby of the Melia Cohiba, which is the top hotel in Eastern Cuba. These are both extremely prestigious projects, and have placed this great artist in an important historical context. 

In addition, he has work in the permanent collection of the Bacardi Museum, as well as the Museo Polivalente, in Santiago, Cuba, the Banco de Reservas in Santo Domingo, DR., in addition to many important collections in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Mexico, Jamaica, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and the US.
