Solorzano, Lissette

Artist Statement: Lissette Solorzano

I am a Cuban artist. I utilize photography to capture the instant of the everyday and the unheard. My objective is to approach a visual poetry as well as a balance, one capable of embracing the social memory and the individual. One of my continuing concerns involves an evaluation of my personal environment within the polemical issue of the man/society idea.

My essays began in 1989, starting with “Through the Dark Pieces” in which people in their everyday lives are seen to inhabit an uncertain world. The second part, “Interior Vision” is the absent presence of the objects that are seen to be an essential part of this existential universe.

As I open the lens, I approach the reality which connects us more closely to the meaning of “Made in Cuba” in order to construct a summary of my work through the present year.

“Habitat” is my most recent project, in which I pretend to call attention to visual contemporary culture, its popular components, and its graphic elements within the urban scenery.
