Deborah Dupont is an artist from Austin, TX that creates beautiful paintings. Her style and medium is unique. She works from black and white photographs, then colors them to create a unique work of art. I recently visited her webpage for the purpose of looking and selecting a piece that I could give my wife for Mother's Day. However, I noticed that in her portfolio under Cuba she has a piece under construction called "Arriba fidel. " I almost wrote the artist to inquire about the content of this new work of art, since a picture is not yet available. I did not. In my heart I knew that I would be extremely disappointed. I'll keep on looking!

Well she already corrected the typo.
Hi Orlando-
Thank you for the mention and compliment in your blog. I enjoyed photographing in Cuba, but it was certainly much different than you see portrayed in the US media.
I have travelled fairly extensively and have never seen people so afraid of their government. It was a chilling experience. I will not return until the island is free.
The piece titled "Arriba Fidel" is of a beautiful stairway in what had become a tenament apartment house in Habana Centro. The entire wall had a long quote from Fidel; however, there was only room for his name (at the bottom of the quote) in my shot.
He is rather long-winded you know.
The title refers to the upward movement of the stair, with the name on the wall reflecting the deterioration of the surroundings.
I have added the image to my website at

Thanks again and it was nice to "meet" you in a cyber world kind of way.

PS I hear there may be a big party in Miami very soon.
