HAVANA TIMES

— One of the greats of Cuban visual arts today is Ileana Mulet. In her interview with HT, she told us: “Two places were the “school of life” for me. One was being an interior decorator for the tourist industry for over seventeen years, and the other was working as a costume designer for television for five years.”
