Alexis Oliva’s work engages with modernist abstraction and the formal language of Cuban graphic design from the 1960s and ’70s, reimagined through a contemporary lens. In his series Apuntalados, he responds to the precarious apartment buildings in Havana—structures braced by wooden supports to prevent collapse—as potent metaphors for human endurance. Working in a poster-like style, Oliva translates these physical interventions into abstract compositions that suggest emotional scaffolding. By reassigning the function of everyday objects, he imbues them with spiritual weight and explores the quiet rituals through which we assign meaning, create refuge, and shape reality amid instability.
