Artist Statement

Artist Statement

I create Paintings, Sculptures, and Constructions. Bright colors, swirling figures, and vibrant energy characterize my paintings. I was born in Cuba and immigrated to the U.S. with my family when I was 3 years old. I am a Cuban/American and very proud of my Cuban Heritage as well as my American citizenship. Generally my paintings depict my personal history and my surroundings. I paint from my heart, expressing a little hope and happiness in all of my creations. I paint the struggles of my fellow humans to strive for their dreams, the things that some of us take so lightly yet so many in this world do not have. I am a romantic at heart and envision a future world where we will all live in peace and plenty.
