Huerta practices what the Cubans call "lo real maravilloso", a counterpart to the magical realism in Latin-American literature. He paints in an Old World palette, in browns, golds, yellows and ambers, with jolts of pale blue or red here and there. The landscape of Cuba, often a backdrop to the fantastic goings-on, emerges in soft, blurry rows of palm trees and glints of light on rooftops. The sea greens of the Straits of Florida shimmer, and sunset skies turn chalky yellow. The Old Masters can take credit for some of Huerta's wildness. His machines have their roots in Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of flying contraptions, moving dykes, pulleys and cranks. Huerta's fantastic creatures, half-human, half-animal, and his apocalyptic visions owe a debt to Hieronymus Bosch. And his imagination, follows the free flights of Francisco Goya.
