We are now leaving Havana Viejo and entering "Fusterlandia",
the studio, residence and wild kingdom of José Rodriguez Fuster.
While Fuster’s art can’t really be described as groundbreaking
(his visual language owes a heavy debt to Picasso and Jean Dubuffet),
he has certainly covered a lot of ground with it. Roofs, walls,
doorways and benches, stretching for blocks around the epicentre
of his studio enclave, are adorned with his brightly colored sculptures
and mosaics: mermaids, fish, palm trees, roosters and Santería saints.
More than 80 neighbors have allowed Fuster to use their homes as his canvas.
