In the video series Nail Polish Tutorials, Carrazana demonstrates how to paint one’s nails based on works by renowned male abstract painters, bringing together elite and popular taste. The possibility of “teaching” abstract painting through a nail-polish video tutorial is closely connected to the Cuban utopian idea of the “massification of culture.”

The videos are inspired by the thousands of tutorials found on YouTube, a platform that has broadened the field of private image-making through minimal production costs. Among its most interesting genres are video tutorials, through which anyone can teach what they know. The videos adopt a distinctly YouTube aesthetic but remain silent, encouraging contemplation while aiming to transform the traditionally isolated experience of the internet user.
