About this artwork
In this work, the female body appears fragmented, almost hidden behind a grid that breaks it down and limits it. The powerful and sensual silhouette is accented by the red color of the underwear, from which the Cuban flag emerges as a sign of identity, desire, and belonging. "Behind" is not just a portrait; it's a metaphor for what is left behind. It represents sensuality, memories, and roots left behind in the past, linked to a land marked by repression… and the contradiction between beauty and pain. The grid functions as a visual prison, recalling the fragmentation of life under a system that encloses, divides, and distorts. However, the work also speaks of liberation: what is left behind does not disappear, but rather is transformed into memory. The figure is a symbol of what marked the artist, but also of what he decided to overcome in order to move toward a new life.
Rafael Hernández Morales is a Cuban-American visual painter based in Orlando, with a background in art education and a career marked by the exploration of identity and transformation. He employs a mixed-media approach, characterized by detailed hyperrealism, texture, and sculptural depth, fusing relief, light, and color to construct three-dimensional works. His conceptual and virtuosic style conveys powerful messages about freedom, memory, and resilience, inviting the viewer to reflect and feel hope, strength, and authenticity in the face of the experience of exile and personal growth.
