STATEMENT
“I am a creator of Images, a teller of stories. My name is Ernesto Crespo García, I am a visual artist and stage designer. I was born and studied in Cuba, I currently live and work in Spain. My work revolves around the construction of the image within the pictorial, installation and cinematographic languages. Telling stories for me has always been a hobby, right now my main interest is how to narrate. My work is a very sensitive response to the world around me, essentially to nature
and human feeling. My main themes are: life, death, hope, truth and fiction; these have always been the leitmotiv in my career. I believe that art is the medium to understand my life experiences, whether real or imagined.”
