Jaime Makinde comes from Cuba and his roots lies in Africa. He use the traditional materials of art in connection with elements of contempory art and surrealism.
The motives of his work takes the viewer into the world of possibility. In his work one finds fantastic constructions and confusing landscapes with organic formation. Everything seems to be in constant change. It seems to be a dream world. But not only a dream world. The organic life constantly trains itself further - a bizarre machinery of plants, animals and human forms. Between them - the columns of the human rule. Jaime Makinde is active in different kinds of art. His works requests the viewer to dare himself, or herself to peer into the secrets behind the laws, to open doors, to enter areas or follow floating objects.
