Carlos Martiel (b. Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban artist specializing in performance. His work focuses on specific political events and social injustices that occur both inside and outside of Cuba. Martiel’s performances reflect on the relations of power between the individual and the different contexts in which he or she operates. Through his use of acute symbolism and nearly harrowing imagery, he brings about awareness surrounding race, class, and identity. When Martiel began his artistry, drawing and jewelry-making were his mediums of choice, but drawing was the catalyst to his now performance-based practice.
