Pastor Pérez
NOSTALGIES OF VILLAGES
After Portocarrero
“After René Portocarrero, for whom the city was for a while, a
fruitful obsession, many years passed before the barroque La
Habana was depicted again in the paintings with a certain artistic
dignity. Among the tons of pigments that every day are poured out
to get an occasional tourist to carry a false souvenir of the city
where he loved a mulatta or drank a Cuba Libre, only Pastor Pérez
seems to be following nowadays the steps of René. Close steps,
because the buildings of the city are the same and we have the
impression that they haven’t changed; far steps, because, according
to Pastor, the city has become a darker and more rectilinear
environment. Pastor Pérez is, if you wish to see the things like I
do, the Portocarrero of these days, the person who more than others
is compared to him, even in his curriculum, in the autodidactic
way to reach art. He is also, as Marianne de Tolentino remarked,
“an emotional painter” who sees things in a cuban way, something
that René didn’t see. Above all because his place was occupied by
virgins, saints, apostles, eternal images and...Pastor, with these
not so naturalistic canvas, as it seems, shows that the cities are
alive, immaginative, fantastic beings,sometimes visited by
unconventional, irreverent, lustful angels. In the old ochre purple
city of Pastor, sometimes sprayed with a so called symbolic red,
people seem to experience nightclubs’ or the blue carnival’s life, a
colour that can be the setting for the difficult, not so easy, almosthapiness”

ranges. There is a concordance with the emotion and the sources of
inspiration of the work, with the vibrating and lyrical conception of
painting. The definition of the borderline between the figuration and
the abstractions doesn’t mean a lot to Pastor Pérez. He dominates
the first, he still loves to make portraits – real or imaginary – with a
realistic accuracy. He dominates the second when he gives priority
to the colour as a language. In conclusion, his present paintings carry
a deep and psychic vision that plays with figurative and abstract
elements at the same time, to the rhythm of his feelings.
The feelings – here is an emotional painting -, as far as we can
diagnose a work that we are beginning to know, are not strange to
beliefs. Pastor Pérez is driven by the afrocuban simbology, by
metaphoric properties of nature- including human beings-, by the
display of power, protection and presence that we read in the
interpretation of his signs. An extraordinary vitality concentrates
and exudes from those vigorous and poetic, free and armonious
images.
If we refer to freedom in the conception of treatment, it is because
Pastor Pérez doesn’t follow a formal or constituent pattern. He
spontaneously elaborates and changes it. He makes a silhouette, he
outlines, he fragments, disposes the signs – that we often associate
with figures- by enhancing the bidimensional or drawing levels and
dephts which are based on shapes, structures and color. His hierarchy,
in inner proportions and dimensions, is absolutely personal and
indipendent from schools. We do not even see a descriptive santeria:
the spiritual reaffirmation is, in our opinion, subjective and plastic.
In conclusion: the half-breed and magic religious touch of Caribe
has found its own and passionate enhancement in the painting of
Pastor Pérez.”

Like almost all cuban painters, Pastor Pérez, is a follower of the
new caribbean and latin american image, of a neoexpressionism that
seeks and reaches the explosion of colours as well as of the shapes
and that turns the space into an authentic “colour field” filled with
inner energies and rhythms. The chromatic impact, we have indicated,
is related with a well used brightness, starting from an explosion
that irradiates tonalities more burning than warm, up to a night or
twilight tone that makes light and shade to flame. It also distributes
touches of half shades giving the result of an atmosphere that recalls
the light.
It is not only due to a wise and felt combination of colours and
