Mr. Tornillo (Dariel Negrin), artist born in Matanzas, Cuba on July 14, 1990, graduated from the Matanzas Academy of Arts, based in Miami Florida since the beginning of 2014
The inventor of the screw was the Greek Archytas of Tarentum (430-360 BC).
There are great inventions of humanity and today no one stops to see them, despite the fact that they still sustain our lives and make them easier, Mr. screw shows us one of them and all the magic they can have
His works take the element of the screw beyond its conventional use, he builds images with a lot of visual strength and their own discourse starting from a very common element, or apparently common, which are the screws.
References to great works of art history, or great patterns and images of contemporary times can be found in their works, alluding to pop culture and its most present symbols, always built with a large number of screws that have various shades and colors creating Thus, depth and volume in the images shown, in some cases the works can have from 8,000 to 30,000 pieces,
From this obsession with screws and his intention to let us know that we are made up of many small elements that together help build who we are, and that we owe him respect and gratitude, the artistic nickname of “Mr.Tornillo” was born.
