The young Cuban artist living and working in Mexico is expanding, literally. While his entire body of work deals with memory, normally in the form of miniature momentos frozen in time and place, he has begun to paint larger works on the same theme. Duportai is a graduate of the esteemed La Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes, San Alejandro in Havana. His work has been shown in Havana, Miami, Paris and Los Angeles, as well as in the PAN Museum of Contemporary Art, Naples, Italy.

Contemporary Cuban artist Danco Duportai García explores memory, identity, and personal history through The Miniature Portrait Project, an ongoing series of intimate oil paintings that revive the tradition of portrait miniatures. Each work transforms fleeting moments, treasured objects, and individual likenesses into carefully rendered tokens of memory.
