José Gislero
I paint and light becomes darkness
José Gislero is a Swiss painter who focuses on sensual, spiritual art. He lives and works between two islands: Switzerland, the island in the middle of the European Union and Cuba the communist island in the Caribbean Sea.
José is convinced of the power of art to unite and harmonize the opposites of our world. Both are interdependent, both are firmly connected and interact.
He paints to create peace and balance.
His series of paintings are often like short stories or painted prayers. His style oscillates between figurative and expressionistic. His works blend both the material and spiritual world.
Although he has a degree in engineering and marketing, he has always been fascinated by art. His many long stays abroad awakened his special commitment and interest in third world issues. Peoples and cultures marginalized by 'civilization' and on the brink of extinction.
Born 1960 in Switzerland, where he has been brought up.
1985: BSc in Eng. / Cybernetics.
1986 – 1995: Engineering jobs mainly in Europe, Saudi Arabia, China, South-Africa and Peru.
1996: MBA, Changed over to Marketing.
1996 – 2008: Marketing jobs in Europe, Middle-East, Asia Pacific and the US.
2008: Decided to terminate his corporate life and moved to Havana (Cuba).
2008 – 2010: Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes "San Alejandro", Havana (Cuba).
2010 – 2016: Working partly as artist, partly as artist craftsman, mainly on restoration of houses from the colonial period in Havana.
2017 onward: Working and living as an artist between Switzerland and Cuba.
José Gislero owns a studio gallery in Havana, where some of his paintings are exhibited.

The skies over the US are in flames. And it started so differently. All was light and brightness. But then the plunge. The sky seemed to fall. I opened the eyes and it was night. As it began to dawn I realized it was just an island. Rain of light and shadow fertilizing the sky. It starts to rain crimson over the east cost. Fire over NYC. Joy over Chicago. Sorrow over San Fransisco. to be continued with an exhausted sky awakening and more .. to come

It's raining in Paris. African immigrants. Tears of gold dropping in the urban jungle. An outcry above 'La Defense'. The financial district seems to disintegrate, but looking closer I see, how the few illuminated windows become stars, integrating with the sky

Bonjour, c'est tout à fait étrange, surtout en acrylique, trouvant cette technique très difficile. Bravo à vous et merci pour votre attention. Muriel
Je viens de regarder votre beau travail sur les visages de femmes! Voilà une perception picturale étonnante et émouvante! Je pense au pointillisme de Seurat! Des points comme des étoiles et qui scrutent les profondeurs de l'être! Belle continuation à vous! Laure.
Bonsoir José! merci beaucoup pour l'icône et merci aussi de vous être abonné à ma galerie! Salutations du soir à vous!
