Soñando de Cuba by Rolando Diaz | Original Oil Painting Auction

Soñando de Cuba, meaning Dreaming of Cuba, is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting by artist Rolando Diaz.

The artwork was painted live in New York City during the Desfile Nacional Cubano Latinoamericano de New York, held along Madison Avenue in Manhattan on July 12, 2026. The event celebrated Cuban culture, heritage, unity, and the continuing call for freedom for the Cuban people.

Created before a live audience, Soñando de Cuba captures the color, emotion, memory, and enduring spirit of Cuba. The composition features a Cuban figure surrounded by tropical leaves, a symbolic eye, references to Habana, and imagery inspired by Cuban life and identity.

Rich blues, greens, golds, and warm earth tones bring movement and energy to the canvas, creating a powerful statement piece for a private collection, home, gallery, or cultural institution.
