He graduated from Elemental School of Visual Arts Rolando Escardó in 1986 and the National Art School (ENA) in the specialty of engraving in 1990.
He has more than fifty samples between personal exhibitions and performances, and numerous group exhibitions in Cuba and abroad. In the past five years his work directly affects communities and certain human groups.
My work is a creed
From experimentation I address issues in various ways, identifying elements of the Afro culture with a universal projection.
My artistic production includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, performances, happening, environment, public interventions, installations, visual and audiovisual actions.
Samples sometimes run from the iconographic imposition (predominantly the figurative); in others sense earn obtain images, with the intent to engage the viewer, to induce him to a sensory proposal to make causes emerge in this meeting, links, and from the interaction affect his conscience.
The most recent work chooses discursive variants that allow the transfer of knowledge, preservation of heritage and historical memory.
