Servando Cabrera Moreno is one of the most recognizable Cuban artists. His works adorn many museums around the world. In the years of his life (1923-1981), being gay, and even more so in a Latin American country, was not at all easy. But, as they say, you can’t argue against nature, so his sexual orientation was clearly manifested in his paintings. At the end of the 60s, Servando Cabrera wrote a large number of works in which, as it were, he studied the morphology of bodies connected during intercourse, primarily between men. This restrained eroticism of copulating lonely bodies became a kind of embodiment of his concept of love. In his work A Tribute to Solitude, various shades of blue interspersed with red and black, where the genitals float in the air, in space, like celestial bodies, convey to us a sense of balance and harmony.
