One of my galleries called me a "Post-Cubist Cuban" My fine art paintings represent portraits, landscapes, still life, abstraction, and surrealism or magical realism as well as Cuban religious paintings. My intense colors and textures are achieved with acrylics and oil pastels. I call my style "geometric realism".

What kind of art are you looking for?

-- a painting or print to decorate your home and gladden your heart.

-- a studio portrait or a creative look at the subject's personality.

-- an original mural to express your restaurant's theme and decor.

-- Afro-Cuban religious and cultural paintings and prints.

Look around, then contact me. You may want to buy some of these paintings and prints. Or I can create one especially for you! Let's talk!
