The Journey of Art Collecting, in 3 steps:
Discover: Explore our carefully curated art collection, and note the artworks that catch your attention.
Pro-tip: We have hundreds of works to choose from; it can be overwhelming, so our suggestion is to scroll through the work and if something catches your eye, add it to your shopping cart, then after you’ve gathered enough options go to the shopping cart and have a closer look at each artwork, this is where you're meant to take your time. Ask yourself how they make you feel - why did it catch your eye? Then narrow the selection down to three or less and move onto the next step.
Connect: Give those attention grabbers a closer look, click on them, and read about their stories provided on the page.
Pro-tip: Note the artists' names whose works captivated you the most then visit our blog to read about their story, and watch them create and express their passion through our professionally produced videos. Identify the moments in your journey of connecting that most resonate with you. Then return to the selection of works you stored in the shopping cart, and keep the ones that resonated the most with you.
Experience: Remove from the cart the ones that don’t inspire your heart, mind, and aesthetic — for those that do, Click Buy.
Pro-tip: One thing we tell many of our collectors that are having a tough time deciding what to get, is to ask themselves the following question: “If I moved tomorrow, would transporting this artwork stress me out, or is it so essential that I wouldn't think twice?” If you’re so inspired by the artwork that you can’t think of yourself without it then it was meant for you to have.

A Message for our Faithful Supporters
Del Caimán began with the intent of becoming a testament to the unvarnished spirit of Cuban art, committed to unveiling the raw and genuine creativity that defines Cuba’s artistic soul. Our mission went beyond mere representation. We aspired to bridge connections between the world and the undiluted narratives of Cuban artists, who harnessed every drop of their resourcefulness to give life to their visions. We recount our story in the past tense, not as a sign that our dream has dimmed, but because we have realized it, and now shift our journey from inception to nurturing and broadening the dream's scope.
From Visionaries to Vanguard: Leading the Cultural Renaissance
From procuring rare artworks to revealing the intimate stories of creators through film and interviews, our purpose has grown. We have responded to the voices of our patrons, expanding into all-encompassing Cuban travel experiences designed to unveil the island's true cultural vibrancy and sustain its burgeoning local enterprises. Furthermore, we have expanded our exclusive event offerings to include live music, wine, and crafting unique multidimensional experiences, that highlights our expanded vision for fostering arts appreciation.
The question "What do you do?" is laden with layers of our passionate undertakings. This complexity gave birth to our membership system, which is an answer that mirrors our journey's evolution. It is an offering steeped in the understanding that the art and connections we cherished are born of time, a valued currency.
This membership is the fruit of diligent labor, a token of our expansion, and a bridge to immersive cultural engagement. It encapsulates our essence, rewarding members not only with exclusive benefits but also with the joy of being integral to our vibrant future.
Your participation in our membership system is an embrace of the unreasonable growth driven by relentless passion. It is an invitation to join us as we pave the path forward, fostering the art of tomorrow. Our member, sustain the fervor, and continue the extraordinary narrative of Del Caimán.
- Rafael Migoyo, President of Del Caimán
U.S. Regulations: Importing Cuban art is legal thanks to the Berman Amendment. Enacted in 1988, it amended the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) to exempt “informational materials” from the TWEA sanctions. In Cernuda v. Heavy (1989), a federal court in Miami held that paintings of Cuban origin were informational materials and therefore exempt from the sanctions on Cuba.
