1953, Havana, Cuba.

In the 70s he studied at the National School of Art in Havana and did not finish it, so he began to study Art History in a night course and obtained a Bachelor's degree.

He began his artistic career in the 70s, as a hyperrealist painter; then he specialized in photography under the direction of Raúl Martínez.

Gory is one of the outstanding Cuban artists of the generation of the 1980s. His work constitutes a particular attempt at ontological exploration of photography, from its foundations to its limits. His thinking about art and its practice is specific, complex and ambivalent, because it is analytical.

Among his most important prizes are the Latin American and Caribbean Photography Award from the Casa de las Américas in 1981 and the Tina Modotti Photography Award at the First Havana Biennial, in 1984.

The National Museum of Fine Arts treasures some of his works.
