Esterio Segura
Cuban-born artist Esterio Segura is a 1994 graduate of the prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana. Working in painting, sculpture and installation, Segura makes use of humorous imagery to address socially and politically charged themes from Cuban history. He has been exhibited extensively in Cuba, US, Germany, Spain, England, Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere in the world.
“Crowded with fantastic ideas and strong images, Segura’s work resonates with the angst of the Cuban people. Yet it is resolved in such a poetic way that the resilient beauty and creativity of life on the island is made clear.” (Kathy Zimmerer, 2002)

“Homemade Submarine SJXXII”
Year: 2017
Medium: Cyanotype
Size: 32-1/8 x 46 inches
Edition: 20
Description: Segura created the visually humorous cyanotype Homemade Submarine SJXXII. The print depicts a schematic view of a submarine with the classic styling of a Jaguar MKII automobile. Each of the eight oars that propel the aquatic vehicle are labeled with a description of the crew member, such as “my self,” “the commander,” and “an old man.” After completing the cyanotype in 2017, Segura wanted to further realize a cast bronze sculpture of the same hybrid car submarine and is titled Submarine Homemade. The sculpture appears to be plunging towards the depths of the sea while the crew members continue to row.
