For years, artist Jose Rodriguez Fuster has worked with the community of Jaimanita to give new life to the exteriors of 80 buildings. His colorful mosaic work is in a naive style, something like Antoni Gaudi, yet with a very Cuban aesthetic. His project has helped the community by bringing tourists’ attention and dollars to the neighborhood. You can see Fuster’s work on 80 renovated homes in this neighborhood. The family medical office and the bus stop are just a couple of his commissions worth checking out.

Local painter and sculptor José Fuster created this kaleidoscopic display of mosaics, sculptures, and paintings throughout the neighborhood to represent his life and art. Affectionately known as the "Picasso of the Caribbean," Fuster even decorated neighbors' homes and bus shelters.

Mr Fuster is transforming Jaimanitas neigborhood in a very particular way. Pay him a visit !

A Cuban artist reclaimed his impoverished neighborhood as a dreamy folk art kingdom. Cuban artist José Fuster’s art is “naïve,” meaning he uses childlike crude shapes and bright colors in his untrained composition. His work has been compared to that of Picasso, a comparison that followed him in successful gallery tours across Europe.

A beautiful tour, a modest neighborhood, an attractive proposal full of Cuban colors, ideas and symbolisms. A completely different gallery. Fuster Jaimanitas offers the enjoyment of works of art that cover and decorate houses, gardens and streets in western Havana. An excellent offer that will make you appreciate, in a different way, the culture of Cubans, the love for their environment and the scope of art for the good of all.

Fusterlandia is a special and unique place, where urban art with influences from Gaudí has invaded the streets. It is certainly worth including in your plans if you are in Havana.
