HAVANA, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) Samuel Riera, a visual artist from Havana s Cerro district, uses plants, wood, and glass containers to create green living structures in an attempt to raise the awareness of the importance of sustainable food production worldwide.
The 42-year-old, who works as a professor at Cuba s National Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro, has turned his house into Riera Studio, an art gallery to put on shows in the living room and domestic spaces next to the kitchen.
Over the past few weeks, he has been working on Evolving Nature, a collection of art installations and paintings that trace the relation between environment and art in the context of the sanitary emergency.
