Firetti Contemporary
Firetti Contemporary presents Reverie, the Middle East debut of Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Reynier Llanes. Featuring his acclaimed series The Poet, the exhibition invites viewers into a dreamlike journey of cultural identity, introspection, and human experience.
Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy of reverie, Llanes’ work merges folklore with contemporary themes—artificial intelligence, immortality, love, and loss—through an enigmatic, transparent figure that symbolises life’s transitions. His evocative storytelling transforms everyday moments into profound allegories, contemplating the poetic and social dimensions of existence.
Through Reverie, Llanes reaffirms art’s power to document, challenge, and inspire, seamlessly weaving past and present, reality and imagination.
