I’m a Cuban artist based in Vancouver, Canada, where I work as an artist and graphic designer. With more than ten years experiences my work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Cuba as part of collective and individual exhibits.
I have also collaborated with several cultural organizations and my work appear in different magazines and books.
STATEMENT
My current work is based on MEMORIES. I rummage through albums of photos with the intention of revitalize those memories, giving them a new opportunity to be alive. In this way, I intend to make those past moments more intense. I believe that our memories make us who we are. Therefore, I look back in order to know how to move forward.
