René Monzón Relova, “Pozas”
b. 1966, Havana, Cuba
Cuban born “Pozas” is a self-educated artist. After completing his studies in Electrical Engineering, he abandoned his career to dedicate himself entirely to painting. His first exhibitions in Cuba were done in impressionistic style but He later turned to hyperrealism/surrealism with landscape and nature as the focus—at which time his work is classified with the “Contemporary Cuban Painters” group. He exhibited in numerous exhibitions in Cuba where appreciation for his painting achieved international recognition. His work is included in collections in Italy, Spain, Venezuela, Mexico and the United States. In 1995, Pozas traveled to Madrid in Spain and decided to make it his home.
The person shown in the pictures is my wife. In them, I reflect on her desire to be alone with nature. Time is not important, only the place that choose to feel the peace she needs. Nature overflows in my work. To copy a landscape does not help me, for I am not satisfied with just that. I believe in the imagined, modeled landscape. Because nature is as interesting to discover as it is to imagine, there is always a place you thought of.
Each landscape is a dialogue of the person with the trees, the rivers, roads, hills, and seas. The shapes and the curves that draw the horizon, or the limit where they begin or end, and the forests, are eager to get out of the pictures.
Wind turbines are one of the things created by man that always attract my attention. I do not fight against them in my paintings, only I try to mimic their appearance and turn them into a kind more.

René Monzón Relova “Pozas”
René Monzón Relova “Pozas”
b. 1966, Havana, Cuba René Monzón Relova, otherwise known as Pozas, was trained in Havana, Cuba as an Industrial Engineer, a profession he decided to put aside to devote himself entirely to painting. He exhibited in numerous exhibitions in Cuba where appreciation for his painting achieved international recognition. In 1995, Pozas traveled to Madrid, Spain and decided to make it his home. His first exhibitions in Cuba were done in impressionistic style but he later turned to hyperrealism/surrealism with landscape and nature as the focus. The self-taught artist’s initial impressionist work evolved focusing on the landscape as the main theme. Here he captured a photographic realism, where the light, serenity and depth of the imaginary fields envelop the viewer's gaze and invite him to abstract himself to discover how small we are. There is sometimes a lone person portrayed in his work, usually his wife or his son. Pozas places the figure in peaceful, nature filled environments, alone and in commune with nature. Sometimes the figure is not there at all, but just a feeling that they once stood in this place. Nature overflows in his work. To simply copy a landscape does not satisfy the artist. He believes in the imagined, modeled landscape of his dreams.

- True North - Orientation, Surreal Sky with Billboard, Rainbow and FireworksBy Mark BowersLocated in Chicago, IL"True North - Orientation" is a worms-eye view of a jumbled sky bursting with both fireworks and a rainbow. The surreal quality of the imagery makes the viewer question reality. The ellipsed edges confirm the scene as an inner vision rather than a window on the world. The foreground billboards add another dimensional question to the landscape. The painting itself is painted on a handmade wooden panel with beautifully finished edges so no frame is needed. Mark Bowers True North - Orientation oil on panel 9h x 12w in 22.86h x 30.48w cm MJB012 TRUE NORTH PAINTINGS Unconscious systemic biases may guide our actions or direct us---similar to the human construct of “True North”, which holds to coordinate systems. The Earth’s “Magnetic North” moves over time according to polar shifts; flux and correction is enabled by polarity. In these paintings (Privilege, Orientation, Belief, Identity, Equity), I use compositional elements referencing nautical com- passes to suggest that society must navigate not within systems, but naturally through positive relationships and change. I hope that my art represents our present day - but also imparts a dreamful glimpse of hope and faith within. Explanation: A magnetic compass does not point toward the true North Pole of the Earth. Rather, it more closely points toward the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth. The North Magnetic Pole is currently located in northern Canada. It wanders in an elliptical path each day, and moves, on the average, more than forty meters northward each day. Evidence indicates that the North Magnetic Pole has wandered over much of the Earth's surface in the 4.5 billion years since the Earth formed. Mark Bowers- Artist Statement With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary. My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares...Category

- True North - Identity, Surreal Blue Sky with Distinctive Cloud MarkingsBy Mark BowersLocated in Chicago, IL"True North - Identity" is a worms-eye view of a brilliant blue sky with a maze of distinctive clouds. The surreal quality of the imagery makes the viewer question reality. Are the clouds actual clouds or made by some other means? Are those fluffy clouds behind the bare branches or mountains? The ellipsed edges confirm the scene as an inner vision rather than a window on the world. The painting itself is painted on a handmade wooden panel with beautifully finished edges so no frame is needed.
