The artist explains that through the paintings he gives a critical look on Cuban society nowadays.
In the series of 12 pieces, besides staring eyes there appear, as symbols, Cuban children with straw hat, the Cuban flag and other elements. These codes are used by the Eliardo to familiarize and demarcate the viewer in the town of Guantanamo, and also defend cultural traditions.
