Numerous exhibitions in Cuba, Chile, China, Japan, Syria, Turkey, Germany, USA, UK, South Korea, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary. His painting feeds the means that he uses. Desiderio doesn’t follow an aesthetic itself; everything is in cycles: as a director that paints. The base of his art is expressionist but related with the “magic realism”: to the reality that surrounds him, but with surreal details that multiplies internal bonds like an endless history.
