Adolfo Nadal Walcot

Extraordinary self-taught draftsman and spontaneous storyteller, Nadal Walcot describes the life, the myths and the culture of his people, the Cocolos, inmigrants descendent of African slaves that arrived in the Dominica Republic from the English islands of the Caribbean and established themselves primarily in the sugar mills of the Dominican Republic since the end of the 19th Century. 

In his stories we find the themes, the space, the characters, and the timelessness that allows them to be part of the "Magical Realism" genre, in a relentless search for truth with supernatural and whimsical actors that, being a part of this reality, enrich the everyday occurrence taking it to a transcendental level.

With singular skill in tridimensionality, he infuses his drawings with a high level of erotic expression, a result of memories of a primitive and natural existence, which he describes humorously and free of inhibition. He frequently uses mirrors as "voyeurs" of other dimensions and like the magic mirror that always tells the truth, revealing the soul as it is, similarly,
