Where to buy Cuban art: Yasnier Rivera and other routes worth comparing

Let the kind of work guide your search

If you want Havana scenes by a Cuban artist working in Poland, begin with Yasnier Rivera’s portfolio. If your aim is to compare several artists, explore a gallery programme or buy abstraction, other sources deserve a place on your shortlist. The useful question is which route brings you closer to the particular work you want.

The options below are starting points, rather than a ranking of quality or a lowest-price claim. Compare individual paintings, condition, documentation and sale arrangements. An artist can work in several formats and media, so comparing names or countries alone will not tell you which object suits your wall, budget or interests.

Yasnier Rivera for a focused choice within one artist’s work

Yasnier’s portfolio runs from the street scenes of Camino al Capitolio and Calle Neptuno to Metamorfosis, the quieter La Barca and the musical Con Criterium. The site lists media and dimensions and offers a 3D gallery. It is a useful place to start when you already like his painting and want to choose between subjects.

Purchase enquiries use the contact details on the site; Yasnier has a representative in Poland. Do not assume that this means a sale without intermediaries or a particular price saving. The benefit of this route is a conversation focused on identified works by one artist. Current availability, documents and delivery arrangements still need confirmation for your chosen painting.

Galleries and artists to explore alongside him

Artizar, with galleries in Tenerife and Madrid, presents Cuban artists including Manuel Mendive and José Bedia. Explore its programme if you want to consider several artistic practices within a curated gallery context. A gallery’s programme alone does not establish the price or suitability of any particular work.

Cuban-Spanish artist Trujillo offers original abstract works on his own website. This is a relevant comparison if you are more interested in abstraction than recognisable streets and figures. Check the current description, dimensions and availability of the individual piece, then confirm delivery charges and terms separately.

In Poland, Manuarte in Łódź describes a Cuban painting gallery and says paintings can be purchased. Treat it as a place to enquire about a visit: ask which artists and works are currently available, and clarify what each offer includes before travelling.

A marketplace for a wider search

Artfinder carries the profile of Leandro Vázquez Martínez, a Cuban artist based in Galicia, with oil paintings offered through the platform. It is another route to explore if figurative painting interests you. The artist profile and individual listings can guide a search, while questions about a particular work still belong with its seller.

For a marketplace purchase, establish who is selling, who arranges transport and which terms cover delivery to your country. Compare the complete price of the chosen artwork and agreed services. A number beside a photograph is not enough to decide which offer represents better value for your situation.

Ask each seller for comparable information

Shortlist one or two works from the sources that genuinely fit your taste. Compare dimensions, medium, condition, framing, documentation, total cost and delivery method. Leave anything unconfirmed as a question. A familiar platform or a local address should not stand in for information about the object you intend to buy.

If your shortlist includes a Yasnier painting, send its title to yasnierartista@gmail.com or call +48 604 580 332. Include the destination town and country and the details you want to check. A response about a named work will help you make a decision far more than a general claim that one artist is everyone’s best choice.
