The Story: Captured Landscapes "Cardenas in the Rain" is a pivotal work from Captured Landscapes, Cuba - New York, a multimedia collaboration between Ildiko Tillman and renowned Cuban jazz pianist and composer, Elio Villafranca.
Taken in September 2024 during a passing tropical rainstorm on Cardenas Street, Havana, this image offers an authentic window into contemporary Cuban life. Unlike typical travel photography, this piece is an art-documentary work that refuses to shock or exoticize. Instead, it seeks to humanize—participating in the rhythm of the street and revealing the quiet dignity of the city amidst the elements.
The Atmosphere: Rhythmic & Authentic There is a musicality to this image, reflecting its connection to jazz composition. The atmospheric tension of the tropical rain creates a mood that is both melancholic and cleansing. This piece is perfect for collectors who value cultural truth and artistic integrity. It serves as a sophisticated focal point for a listening room, a study, or a globally-inspired living space.
Museum-Quality Formats This artwork is released as an exclusive Limited Edition (only 20 prints per medium).
Archival Canvas (Gallery Ready): A complete, high-end presentation. The canvas is hand-stretched over a robust 1.5-inch wooden structure. Unlike standard prints, these feature a solid back panel for added elegance and structural stability.
Framing Option: Available with a floating frame to enhance the gallery aesthetic.
Deep Matte Giclee Paper (The Collector’s Choice): Printed on premium fine art paper with a Deep Matte finish. This textureless, non-reflective surface allows the rich tones and details of the rain-soaked streets to stand out with absolute clarity.
Note: Paper prints are sold unframed, allowing you to work with your local framer to suit your specific interior design.
