Lives & works in La Habana, Cuba

From an anthropological point of view, Maikel Muiño illustrates in his artistic works lapses that concern aspects of human behavior, as regards the spiritual and religious. The elements of Cuban culture and religion of African origin and their projections throughout the Caribbean region, therefore, suffer from variations that do not always correspond to the fundamentals of the cosmogony and original beliefs.

To do this, he uses color and magical-religious elements that each one expresses in its own context the dilemmas of the variants of the dogmas that emerged in these lands about the original worldview by a series of elements that do not respond to the fundamental and tend to pervert with accessories and gadgets of their own to other instances of modernity. This has created an improper slip between the original versus the aesthetic tastes in fashion, about this culture that Africa has bequeathed to us, making it lose much of its original Essence.

His works and his research are directed towards the rescue of indigenous cultures and tend to seek awareness of the authentic in societies where the reported grafts lead to dysfunctionality and a loss of the popular and the traditional due to these improper uses of aesthetic concepts and false assumptions.
