About this artwork
This face appears and disappears between layers of paint that never fully reveal it.
In "Head of a Saint IV," I work with oil and metallic acrylic on canvas, with an almost sculptural weight. The face, insinuated between glazes, is crossed by intense blue marks reminiscent of St. Andrew's Cross, not as a religious symbol but as a form of structural erasure. The cross becomes a gesture that simultaneously silences and points, questioning the limits… of the visible, the spiritual, and the corporeal.
This piece marks a material shift in the series; the painting becomes its own body, denying transparency. I think about how religion operates through glazes, layers of ritual and dogma that conceal as much as they reveal. I grew up deciphering Catholic symbols mixed with Santeria in Cuba. I arrived in Spain and found other layers, but the same structure of concealment.

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.
