Diango Hernández (born 1970) is a Cuban contemporary artist.
Contents |
Hernandez was born in 1970 in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba. He earned a degree in industrial design at the Havana Superior Institute of Design (ISDI). After graduation in 1994 he began a collaboration experience together with Ernesto Oroza, Juan Bernal, Francis Acea and Manuel Piña under the name "Ordo Amoris Cabinet", after the Latin words for "order" and "love". From 1996 until 2003 Ordo Amoris Cabinet was only formed by Diango Hernández and Francis Acea. The duo's sculptural installations were exhibited throughout Cuba, Europe, and North America. Hernandez currently lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany, and Trento, Italy.

Hernández with his works unveils the constructive and poetic meaning of crisis (crisis must be perceived here as politic-economic or social crisis) and present this meaning to us as a permanent remainder of what a beautiful thing is to make a mistake.
