Ramón Carulla was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1938. Today, he lives and works in Miami making figurative art. This photo, taken in 1980, makes me want to put on my sandals and find a margarita so we can sit down and talk about how his latest dream has made its way into his work. Join us?

Carulla states, "We all are jugglers, escapists, rockets, and entertainers in the interminable circus of life."
