Dominican painter born in 1953. He has the poetic power of approaching the urban and the rural, as well as the utilitarian and the ritualistic. His painting is not of great dimensions and there is a premeditated antimonumentality in it.

There are two types of Cueva’s works: the reduction of the proportions and the chromatic reduction, through an abundant use of yellow. He has participated in numerous international exhibitions, individuals as well as collectives, in prestigious galleries in Paris, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Sao Paulo, London, Cagnes Sur-Mer, Washington, Miami and Santo Domingo. Cuevas plays with indefinition, with ambiguity. He organizes and disorganizes in one-intentional association of the mind, but finally the artistic substance of the creative work offers a powerful plastic coherence and a clear sense to the whole. In 1978 he exhibited his work in the Nader Gallery, together with renowned continental artists such as Carlos Aresti, Heriberto Cogollo, Saul Kaminer, Mario Murua, Leoncio Villanueva, Eduardo Zamora and Luis Zarate.

The experimental is one of the most outstanding pictorial phenomena in Cueva’s paintings. He is an alchemist of sketching and color. His balanced composition order and his master narrative diction leading the spectator to penetrate into the most secret and vertiginous conquests of the human being. Cuevas, as Ivan Tovar, Vicente Pimentel, Rincón Mora, Candico Bido and Guillo Perez, has won the “Paleta de Oro”, in Spain, one of the awards most coveted by Spanish artists.
