Best Cuban paintings in Warsaw: our guide to choosing an original

Our recommendation for buyers in Warsaw

Start with Yasnier Rivera if you want a Cuban painting for your home, office or a gift in Warsaw. This is the artist’s own website, and the choices below are our recommendations by subject, dimensions and the space where you plan to hang the work. You can also browse all 24 paintings in the online catalog.

For a Havana street scene, look first at Camino al Capitolio. For a quieter subject, compare La Barca. Both are listed at 100 × 80 cm, making them a useful pair to consider at the same scale. Contact us to confirm availability and arrangements for getting your chosen work to Warsaw. The online catalog does not establish a physical Warsaw showroom.

There is a documented Warsaw connection: on 8 December 2024, Magda Dziedzicka published an invitation to a Yasnier opening planned for 12 December at Galeria Sztuki Dziedzicka, Żurawia 24a. That historical invitation does not establish the paintings’ present location or current viewing arrangements.

Havana street scenes for a living room or office

Camino al Capitolio combines oil and acrylic. Its red taxi draws the eye along the street toward the Capitol dome. It is our starting choice for someone who enjoys a recognisable city scene with architecture, cars and details to revisit. Bicitaxi is an oil painting with the same listed dimensions, 100 × 80 cm, centred on a bicycle taxi and an everyday Havana street.

Add Calle Neptuno to the shortlist if a square format interests you. This 80 × 80 cm acrylic painting places a red bakery sign among cars and building fronts. Compare these three as individual compositions. Notice which street you keep returning to after the first impact of the colour has worn off.

Choosing a smaller work or a large centrepiece

Almendrón azul offers a car-and-city subject in a 60 × 45 cm acrylic painting. Palma is a smaller 46 × 34 cm acrylic with a palm-tree motif. Either can be a starting point when wall space is limited, but check the actual dimensions where the painting will hang. For a gift, find out what space the recipient has before choosing by size alone.

For a substantial city scene, consider Parque Central, listed as oil and acrylic at 150 × 200 cm. A work this size calls for a different conversation about a living room, reception area or office. Measure the clear wall, allow room to view it, and check doorways and access. Confirm orientation and framed dimensions directly rather than inferring them from the thumbnail.

Water, music and figures

La Barca shows a boat on turquoise water. Compare it with Río entre palmas if you prefer water and greenery to a busy street. Both are listed as acrylic paintings, 100 × 80 cm. A photograph of the intended wall can help you compare their colours with your room; your interest in the subject still deserves as much attention as the décor.

Con Criterium, also an acrylic at 100 × 80 cm, brings musical instruments into the composition. It is our suggestion for someone choosing art with a musical connection. Metamorfosis combines oil and acrylic in a figure-and-butterfly subject. When buying for another person, ask about the subjects they enjoy instead of assuming that every painting with a Cuban connection will suit them.

Browse the complete 24-work catalog

The gallery below contains all 24 works presented on this site, with their individual availability labels. Sold paintings and works in private collections remain in the portfolio. If you are looking to buy, use the labels to identify a possible choice and confirm its status directly.

Open a painting’s page to see it on its own and check the medium and dimensions. The 3D gallery offers another way to compare compositions. Before deciding, request current detail photographs, including edges and the reverse. Screen colour and the apparent scale inside a virtual room cannot replace information about the actual object.

Can I view a painting in person in Warsaw?

Ask about the specific work before arranging a visit. Any viewing, meeting location or collection needs to be agreed directly. This guide is written for buyers in Warsaw; it does not advertise an established local showroom.

Which paintings should I look at first?

For city subjects, our first choices are Camino al Capitolio and Calle Neptuno. For a smaller wall, look at Almendrón azul. If you prefer a water scene, start with La Barca. These are recommendations for different needs, with the final choice resting on your taste and available space.

How do I request a price and delivery arrangements?

Email the painting’s title to yasnierartista@gmail.com or call +48 604 580 332. Give Warsaw as the destination and ask for availability, the current USD quote, framing and complete delivery or handover arrangements. Mention any date you need it by. Confirm the cost, timing and any meeting before committing to the purchase.
