HUMBERTO CUAN´S PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE A VERY POWERFUL CONCEPT; IT IS THE STRENGTH OF THE IDEA BEHIND EACH ONE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ECLIPSE, EVEN MORE KNOWING IS THAT THEY ARISE FROM EVERYDAY ACTIVITY, FROM THE FUNDAMENTAL AND DISTINCTIVE FACT OF JUST BEING IN THE PERFECT TIME AND PLACE. EACH TRIP OUT ON THE STREET ALLOWS CUAN TO CAPTURE SNAPSHOTS OF URBAN LIFE, WHICH RESULT IN A MESSAGE THAT INCLUDES ALL ASPECTS: TRAGEDY, IRONY, CRUELTY, INNOCENCE AND BEAUTY, ALL OF THIS WITH SOME SARCASM AND HUMOR, JUST LIKE IN HIS PAINTINGS.
