An exhibition of 15 paintings by one of the Cuban Five, Antonio Guerrero, unjustly held in a United States prison, was opened today at the Art Gallery of the University of Panana''s Law Faculty, by his sister Maria Eugenia.
This concerns a distressing and dramatic chronicle telling in lines, shapes and colors the survival, rather than experience, of Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino, Tony, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, in those 17 months they spent confined in the "hole," the notorious punishment cell of the Federal Detention Center in Miami.
As Tony expressed, the 15 images, entitled "Yo me muero como vivi" (I Shall Die as I Lived), showing a vision from inside out, have in common lasting memories for them of the unjust and cruel treatment they have received since the first day of their arrest, on September 12, 1998.
Between the first frame with a grotesque reception of a quilt and a roll of toilet paper, until the last one reflecting the bad health due to abuse, the stress caused by the injustice, and the lack of medical care, the paintings reflect 15 years of suffering, but also an integrity and anthology heroism.
Tony wanted to make that exact amount of paintings because the year he materialized the idea, 2013, they complied with 15 years of brutal, unjust, illegitimate and inhumane confinement, and in an enviable synthesis, they describe how in that long time their names were robbed with the intention of erase their identities and turn them into numbers.
