Pedro Pablo Oliva

Pedro Pablo Oliva Rodríguez (Pinar del Río, Cuba, January 15, 1949) is a Cuban painter.

His works can be seen at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Havana and in collections in Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Germany and United States.

In 2011 he was dismissed by the Cuban government as a delegate to the National Assembly of People's Power in the province of Pinar del Río.

[3] The dismissal was motivated by the publication of a letter by Oliva that was critical of Cuba in the blog of the cyberactivist Yoani Sánchez, and by statements that he made to the journalist Edmundo García in his program La Tarde Se Mueve (The Afternoon Moves) on a television station in Miami.

[2][4][5] Oliva's work is influenced by neoexpresionism, with a keen command of colour and a palette of intense chromatic diversity.
