In his works, Ariel Cabrera selects images taken from patrimonial documents in order to delve into rugged areas and aspects little touched by Cuban and North American history. He proposes imaginary scenarios based on military events of the independence struggles, simultaneously creating events and supposed historiographic dialogues that subject history in general to scrutiny, where sarcasm, the erotic-burlesque and the playful are present. Generally, within scenes marked by life in the field or historical painting, we can find disguised intimate events, romantic struggles, episodes of lust and eroticism.
