1928, Havana / 2013 Havana, Cuba

Painter, engraver, sculptor and designer. Member of the Los Once Group and Founding Member of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba.

He studies at the Villate Academy.

He was drawn to abstraction early on. For what he is known for introducing in Cuba the abstract expressionist current, speech and language that he has maintained a coherent and at the same time renovating line.

He made the first exhibition of him in 1952, together with artists such as Guido Llinás, Fayad Jamís, Antonia Eiriz and Manuel Vidal, in the CTC halls. However, it is not until the mid-1950s that he defines his characteristic style, abstraction and all its variants such as expressionism, informalism and sandblasting, to name a few.

Since 1953 he has been a member of the group Los Once, a name taken after the exhibition Once Young Painters and Sculptors.

In the 60s he participated in the Foundation of the Experimental Graphic Workshop and developed a considerable set of works within the lithographic technique. He made pieces for public places such as the mosaic murals located in the Manuel Ascunce Doménech Theater in Ciudad Libertad and in the La Epoca store.

In the 1970s he began as a painting teacher at the National School of Art. In the 80s he dabbled in sculpture.

The Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba has in its Collection important works by the artist.
