"Les envio algunas imagenes de las obras Absolut Ceballos y Absolut Oviedo recientemente develadas en la Plaza Espana de la Zona Colonial. La de Ceballos es un cubo que invita a visitarlo por una ventanilla para descubrir su interior donde observamos dos botellas de la vodka Absolut en forma de reloj de arena: "Absolut time".
La de Oviedo es una escalera que va cruzando esta forma de cubos de diferentes colores hasta llegar a la cima donde se encuentra la botella de Absolut."

(This is my translation of the Spanish version sent to me by Antonio Ocaña)
Here are pictures taken 12/13/05 in Plaza España in Zona Colonial.
Absolut Ceballos: This cube invites the visitor to discover, through a small window, the interior where they can observe two bottles of Absolut vodka in the form of a sand clock "Absolut Time".
Absolut Oviedo: Stairs can be seen that are crossing the form of cube of different colors until arriving at the top where there is a bottle of Absolute vodka.

Carlos A. Parra, aka. Kabubi was born in the Santiago, República Dominicana. Being an only child he spent much of his time drawing. Carlos said "Since I was a little kid I love to draw".  Later because of the efforts of his parents he studied fine arts. He went to a few different art schools landing at the Dominico Americano Art school where he studied art and English in the city of Santiago. As a student he was always absorbing the the art skills of everyone, using water colors, pastels, and acrylic, ultimately sticking with his favorite medium, acrylic painting on canvas.  Moving to New York in 2000 Carlos continues to improve on his artistic skills to become a fine artist.

Mr. Parra says " I believe in art as an expression of freedom where everyone's opinion and perspective of an art piece is very important. I find art in everything that surrounds me. For me putting an expression on a canvas is a very exciting thing."
