We’ve just received this from Victor, and it reaffirms what has long been evident in his work: he is a truly exceptional artist and a singular mind.
One of the most compelling aspects of great surrealism is its reliance on symbology, iconography, and an expansive imaginative capacity—qualities
that are increasingly rare today. Victor possesses these in abundance. And he is quite a poet. At times it feels like his mind is truly unleashed.

We regard him as both a technical master and a conceptual genius, a combination that is essential to achieving work of this caliber. It is perhaps for
this very reason that so few artists successfully operate within the surrealist tradition today. Many demonstrate extraordinary technical ability but lack
the imaginative depth to transcend craftsmanship; others possess powerful conceptual vision but lack the technical discipline to fully realize it.
Victor is distinguished by the fact that he commands both. Which makes him relatively free of limitation with regard to his paintings.

We have works from Victor dating back nearly 25 years, from the period when we first discovered him. Even then, his conceptual intelligence was
unmistakable, though he was still refining his technical ex*****on. Today, he has reached a level of maturity where both elements—conceptual depth
and technical mastery—are fully and confidently realized. The reaction his work elicits when viewed in the gallery is remarkable. There is an immediate
sense of fascination and sustained engagement—an unmistakable response to work that operates on both an intellectual and visceral level.

From Victor Huerta Batista - January 8th, 2025
The Shoe of Man

I believe that the work of every artist who is authentic and transcendent within the history of art shares a fundamental characteristic: the work is inseparable
from lived experience. Each carries a story that must be told. In my own practice, this reflection of personal life is present throughout much of my work.

I was born and have lived in a country that constantly forced my dreams to exist elsewhere in order to be realized. My story mirrors that of my hometown, Camagüey—
a place defined by longing, re

The very latest paintings by Victor Huerta Batista.
Stunning tropical surrealism, by one of the most talented Surrealist artists, alive and working today, anywhere in the world.

30 x 40". 75 x 100cm. 2025
Acrylic on canvas.

We consider Huerta to be both a technical master, and a conceptual genius. How many contemporary artists working today, have that combination of qualities?

Una hermosa pintura nueva de Victor Huerta Batista.
Impresionante surrealismo tropical, por uno de los artistas surrealistas más talentosos, vivo y trabajando hoy en día, en cualquier parte del mundo.

Consideramos que Huerta es a la vez un maestro técnico y un genio conceptual. ¿Cuántos artistas contemporáneos que trabajan hoy en día, tienen esa combinación de cualidades?
