VALPUIGSeries
Body of work
Each series is a chapter. An emotional arc, a period, an obsession. The fragmented body as a constant, colour as denunciation.
Figurations
2007–2008 · 7 works
First public series. Shown at Galería Teodoro Ramos (Havana, 2007) and Casa Guayasamín (Havana, 2008). Exploration of the body as expressive territory.
Fragmented Bodies

Mother conceptual thread running through the whole body of work: the human figure decomposed as a metaphor for a society anchored in a past without future.

The Island on His Back
2022 · ongoing · 78 works
Cuban period of Víctor Alexis Puig (2022-2026): trapped in Havana, unable to leave, painting with the knowledge that he will soon lose the place he paints. The work becomes an act of resistance and pre-emptive memory — it fixes what is still there, before it ceases to be. The period closes with his irregular departure from the country, physically carrying his paintings and materials, leaving behind home, family and friends. He carries the island on his back into an open destination.
Travesía
2024 · ongoing · 24 works
The artist's migration route 2023-2026: Cuba → Guyana (2024) → Brazil → Spain. Diaspora painted as intimate territory — farewell, hospital, return, shore.
