Ian Mont (Puerto Padre, 1972) paints the memory that exile fragmented.
He exhibited in Cuba during the 1990s until a scholarship brought him to Spain in 2006. He never returned. Between 2006 and 2018, he survived by working in technology, the painting being buried along with the works he couldn't get off the island.
Since 2018, he has returned to oil, burlap, and rough materials, but his practice has mutated. He combines traditional painting with artificial intelligence applied to historical archives, working with photographs of Ellis Island and colonial records to reconstruct what was silenced. The series "Iconoclasms" and "Animals in Conflict" dismantle sacred and national symbols to reveal their hidden violence.
From Barcelona, he develops a visual archaeology of Atlantic migration. He doesn't seek beauty, he seeks testimony. The wound doesn't heal, it breathes.
