Edgar Soteras
Amateur artist of Cuban nationality currently based in Chile, whose creations reflect a surrealism that links human anatomy together with elements referring to spirituality without the need for the artist to resort to predetermined religious canons in combination with figures of nature embodied in a fantastic environment, always supported by a conceptual base, sometimes with subliminal messages hidden in the silhouettes or forming part of the concept of the work itself.
Without previous studies in ``ART´´ and a doctor by profession, the strokes and use of colors as well as the pictorial techniques used by the artist are the product of his personal vision of the world, highly supported in the sphere of dreams, achieved under the work of a hand that with the passage of time and the desire to experiment shape an art that can be considered ... "RAW ART", if we take into account that its creator does not have an academic training in plastic arts studies However, he has developed his work in a constant experimentation of techniques that have ranged from pencil and ink drawing on cardboard to acrylic painting on canvas until recently his debut in digital art.

My first experience with oil on canvas!!!
Interview with the Empirico Surrealist Artist Edgar Guillermo Soteras Figueroa on the Classical Station of Cuba, CMBF Radio Musical
This afternoon I had the great opportunity and pleasure of having been interviewed by the Announcer and Presenter of cultural magazines, Mr. Helson Hernández, who in his radio space opened the doors to my work as an amateur surrealist artist, making it known to the public throughout the world. the island.
This is my first experience of this type and if there is one thing I can say, it is that I felt very comfortable with the professional way in which he guided the interview, guaranteeing its fluidity.
Congratulations to the professionalism of Mr. Helson and his entire work team.
I would also like to mention Mariolis Bisset Heredia, whom I thank for having contributed to making this happen, thank you very much.
Thank you very much for making my work known, its simplicity and spirituality, even when I am outside of Cuba.
THANK YOU HELSON HERNÁNDEZ!!!!!
THANKS TO ALL THE RADIO AUDIENCE 🇨🇺!!!!

MY FIRST STEPS IN THE WORLD OF ART
... drawing and painting is like making the soul fly, feeling how the hand slides over a cardboard, canvas or even a digital tablet and seeing in them the visual expression of images created by our ideas and dreams is liberating ...
From a very young age I was motivated by drawing and painting, I started in 2004 with graphite on cardboard and then I began to experiment with drawing with ink and colored pencil, all very basic because in my country of origin I was able to create using professional or similar materials professional is very difficult, and so I was able to create my first surreal drawings and make my first sale forming my pieces part of an online gallery based in Canada where multiple works of artists from my hometown "Santiago de Cuba - Cuba" are shown. ´, then I understood that my strokes, despite not having an academic training in plastic arts, could motivate the interest of being appreciated next to the strokes of other artists who did have such training and this achievement was what prompted my motivation to continue painting and trying new techniques moving years later to acrylic on canvas and more recently to digital painting.
Here I leave a sample of part of those first drawings ... shown in the online gallery ``Cuba Art (The Artists of Santiago de Cuba) ´´
