Ofill Echevarria

In 2013 he launched his book 'El Mundo de Los Vivos I The Real World', which contains several essays from recognized American and Cuban art experts and includes artworks from 2001 to 2012.

[7] Ofill Echevarria's fascination with motion in cityscapes has its origins while the artist was still living in Mexico City, where he developed a series of oil paintings on canvas regarding urban life that later was exhibited at the Multicultural Center of the URI, Kingston.

[8] In 2002 a more specific series of paintings about life in the city and its inhabitants with regard on the business people was exhibited in his, 'Iconos / Reflections',[9] as well as in 'City Escapes' (2004) this iconography of stress becomes sharper, with pictures as 'Soñar Is Forbidden'[10] or 'Ritual de Identidad / The Lost Identity'; "works that bordered on abstraction, and whose titles, often bilingual, alluded in a parallel way to another multitudinous movement: that of the human masses coming from the south to insert themselves in the megalopolises of the north".

[13][14] In 2013, Ofill returns to Mexico with 'Momentum', an exhibition in which "the pace of city life could only be trapped by the fragments that constitute its temporality through a diligent observation".

A more abstract series of paintings on urban life "defined by brushwork" was unveiled at the Gabarron Foundation New York in September of the same year.
