Three extraordinary works by the legendary Cuban-born artist Rafael Soriano (1920–2015) have been acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., made possible through the continued stewardship of the Soriano estate.

These masterpieces, including the vibrant Luciérnaga (1955), the introspective La búsqueda (1968), and the mystical El descanso del héroe (1992), capture pivotal moments in Soriano’s remarkable journey.

Each piece reflects his profound exploration of the human spirit and his evolution as an artist through exile and beyond.
