About Me

I am a Cuban artist living and working in Havana — where I have always lived, and where everything I make begins and ends.

My work moves between two disciplines: the precision of drawing and the freedom of oil painting. In my drawings — executed in charcoal and graphite — I search for what lies beneath the surface of the human figure. Forms dissolve into line, line dissolves into abstraction, and in that space between representation and chaos, something true emerges.

My paintings are a different kind of conversation. Rich, layered, and deeply personal — they draw from Baroque composition and the natural world, weaving mythology and the female form into canvases that feel, to me, more like living things than finished objects.

Cuba gives me everything and asks for everything in return. The light here is unlike any other light. The silence has a particular weight. Working in Havana means working with a kind of intensity that I imagine is difficult to explain to someone who has not felt it — the sense that making something beautiful is both an act of defiance and an act of faith.

My work has traveled further than I have. It is held in private collections across the United States, Europe, and Latin America, and I am deeply grateful to the collectors and friends abroad who have made that possible. I welcome commissions and inquiries for both drawings and paintings — distance has never been a barrier to collaboration.
