The large-format oil painting Transmisión en vivo by Ernesto Rodríguez Conzàlez takes on a milestone in art history. Raphael's encounter between Leo the Great and Attila in the Stanza di Eliodoro of the Vatican Palace. The Cuban artist loves such excursions into tradition. Some of his portraits of women seem to have their origins in the Quattrocento, others quote Dutch Gouden Eeuw painting. And why the effort? Ernesto Rodríguez Conzàlez contrasts the grandeur of the old masters with the miserable visual language of the digital space, with all the visuals, icons and emojis that simulate meaning in social media. He invites us to reflect on the relationship between art, identity and the digital world, says Conzàlez. An invitation that should be accepted.
