The author of the stained glass windows that can be seen in the Las Ruinas restaurant, which is in Lenin Park, was René Portocarrero, who is listed as one of the most important figures of Cuban painting of all time.

Las Ruinas is one of the most beautiful and original restaurants in Havana. It is located in the areas of the large park "Lenin". The building has a new structure with columns and prefabricated slabs and large windows of polished wood and glass. The restaurant has a spacious lobby in which you can see a majestic artistic work and an extraordinary lamp of style. At the end of the central hall there is a monumental black and white marble staircase with wooden railings from the Congo that allows access to the elegant main hall. The spacious dining room is surrounded by large windows that finish off its charm with beautiful stained glass windows.

Portocarrero did not limit his creative work to painting as he also illustrated books and magazines and made graphic designs and ceramics.

Born in Havana, in the Cerro neighborhood, on February 24, 1912, he became one of the most important painters of Cuba in the twentieth century.

Portocarrero made more than 20 personal and 60 group exhibitions. His works appear in collections of important museums and galleries around the world.
