I met Ialtus in Miami this past Spring.  Ialtus is a Cuban farmer.  He moves across the countryside on stilts and lives a life of great humility, one closely connected to his environment.  His life is simple.  In this simplicity exists wisdom uncommon to us urban aboriginals.

“Ialtus” is a fictional character from Enrique Sendra’s wild imagination.   Sendra is an up and coming painter in Miami, FL.  His herculean talents are unmistakable.  Here is an article about Sendra recently published in the Miami Herald.

This Friday, August 12th, from 7-10p, Sendra’s exhibition “Cross Pollinated Signals” opens in the swenson gallery at the Bakehouse art complex in Wynwood, Miami.  Come check out Sendra’s work.
