Tambou (2005) Painting by Berlin Cassamajor

Born in 1976, Berlin was first exposed to art at an early age through his two older brothers who are skilled artists themselves. At age of 10 He was placed in advance or gifted art classes until joining the Magnet Program at Norland Middle School in south Florida. His training at that time focused on combining his natural talents with the fundamentals of art in an array of mediums, from pencil and charcoal to airbrush and photography. During that time he entered numerous exhibitions having great success and exposure.

He later graduated from Design and Architecture Senior High in Miami, Florida where his studies consisted of architectural drafting and design, computer animation, computer graphics, fine art design, principals and history. Also at that time, he began to receive recognition from the local newspaper and the art community. Being pressured to get a “real job”, his interest shifted towards drafting and ACAD.

Since 1998, he has been given opportunities to show his talents: building renderings, painting for a cause, portraits, entering art shows, and teaching art classes.

January 2004, he decided to pursue a career as a fine artist and took the leap of faith to start his own fine art career. He painted his first mural in February 2004 for a local hair salon in Winter Haven, FL called Delashons on 3rd St SE. In the spring of 2004, he began teaching and selling his paintings and giclee reproducitons.

The summer of 2005, he has been busy entering shows and exhibitions. A solo exhibition was hosted at the Ridge Art Association from July 14-August 5, 2005. His creative abilities were recognized in the Lakeland Ledger, News Chief of Winter Haven, and the Orlando Sun-Sentinel newspapers. He was also featured in Today & Tonight and Artifacts magazines.

In 2006, now living in the Dominican Republic, Berlin Cassamajor continues to expand his fine art projects. He has created artworks for business professionals in Puerto Plata, Bavaro, Punta Cana, Higuey, Santo Domingo, and Jarabacoa. After the tragedy that struck the country of Haiti on January 12th, 2010, he collaborated with Los Artistas de Las Terrenas and participated in an exposition that contributed half of the proceeds to Haitian people in the city of Jacmel, Haiti. He continues to paint commission pieces in his studio in Jarabacoa, DR.
