Chichiricú is Aurelio Milera’s tribute to the mischievous, beloved figure of Afro-Cuban mythology—guardian, trickster, and spirit of playful wisdom. The character embodies the essence of cubanía: humor, resilience, syncretism, and the poetic imagination of the island. Surrounded by oversized flowers, lush leaves, and vibrant geometric patterns, the figure becomes both folkloric and timeless, a bridge between ancestral memory and contemporary magical realism.

Rendered in radiant color and rich detail, Chichiricú honors the roots that shaped the artist’s identity, celebrating the rituals, stories, and cultural wit that define Cuba’s spiritual landscape.
