Ruben Berland is one of Latin America's most admired landscape artists, whose early training in Cuba as both a painter and restoration specialist is evident throughout his work. His exceptional attention to detail reflects a dedication to perfection, seen in the intricate rendering of every element, from the smallest shrubs to towering palms. In his 2001 Sobre Aguas Tranquilas, a thoughtful composition built upon a masterful palette of greens and blues, subtly enhanced with delicate golden and white tones, draws the viewer into an immersive landscape that evokes distant journeys and long-held memories. From humble beginnings to international recognition, Berland's paintings have traveled worldwide, appearing in major collections and prestigious auction houses across the United States, Panama, and Singapore.
