I Create Contemporary Cuban American Art. I feel that I create Contemporary Cuban American Art. The Ideas come from both my mind and heart. My colors depict the sense of happiness I feel all around me. My paintings are created with lots of joy and happiness, but also require lots of work and patience. I always use only the best materials and never worry about the cost only the end results. I try to put as much of myself into my work and that means I create everything from the stretcher bars, to stretching the canvas, priming, painting and creating the welded and polished galvanized frames for my paintings. I do not have any assistants and all is created by my hands and hard work. I love to see my paintings develop as they are bright and full of life… Continue reading… 0 comments

I painted the Wolf at the Door in 2007 before the economic meltdown but during a time when I felt the country was in a recession and things would only get worse before they got better.
