A word from the artist
The greens of my home land are unlike any green in the world, it is a place where nature filled the soul, where the magical blue sky and majestic royal palms embraced the landscape.
I grew up in this magical place that transforms a person, and stamps the inner core of your heart with unforgettable memories, thoughts and feelings. Cuba never lets you go. She is pure passion. She is within every Cuban
My Inspiration
Inspiration comes from my heart and my homeland.It is the core of my emotions. My paintings are filled with vibrant colors ,movement's and texture. The sugar canes reflect a nourished hunger. The drums reflects the passion I have for music
The beat of the tumbadoras (Conga drums) flow through my soul and it runs through my veins. As a percussionist I play the drums ,Bongos and triple Congas ,in occasions sitting down with local friend musicians for a lfriendly jam section
The colors and the music of my homeland are always vivid in my mind and my work.
I close my eyes and I can still smell the burned sugarcane being milled. All those thoughts are stamped in my senses and in my mind .I use vivid greens that reflect the tobacco fields that I ran through as a boy.
I use strong yellows they are the stained fingers of my mother’s hands, working endlessly in the cigar plant. They are the strongest part of my paintings, these yellows and greens: pure love, the love of my mother.
I use no pre-sketch before I star any of my painting ,I blend and I grind pigments to create my own colors I let the canvas dictate and guide my pasion " we become one"
I allow my heart to flow into the canvas and from within a blank space of the canvas an incredible energy calls me. That energy begins to fill the empty space, and images of my emotions are born into a canvas bonding them. I let memory dictate the moment, I let feelings command the space, and I lay it bear to the viewer to experience my inner soul to experience my Cuba thru my paintings
Out of a world of multiple concepts, I attempt to isolate a singular thought that defines image, without distraction. The harmony colors pose to me, and the sweetness I recall of the sugar cane are parallel to the foundation of my mind and spirit. The Lord has given me this wonderful gift, one I feel is a true blessing.
Thank you for visiting my site and for enjoing my work!
