Zenén Vizcaíno, born in Havana and rooted in Saltillo, presents his works as symbolic stage sets where the intimate, the everyday, and the cultural coexist in a visual dialogue that challenges the academic with humor, memory, and a poetics in constant transformation.

About the Artwork
El viaje depicts three figures rowing a watermelon half placed inside a metal tub, transforming everyday objects into vessels of imagination. With irony and symbolic play, Vizcaíno suggests migration, survival, and the surreal ways in which journeys—physical or emotional—are undertaken. The piece condenses humor and critique into a striking allegory of displacement and persistence.
