25 de Octubre de 1930
He was born on October 25, 1930. In 1950, when he was twenty years old, he saw, for the first time, an exhibition by Wifredo Lam y Castilla, also born in his hometown, and there he defined his expectations to become a painter, that were forging inside him. In 1955 he studied in the Escuela Anexa a San Alejandro (Annex School to San Alejandro Academy) and he could not keep on because he needed to work, nevertheless he kept on painting and taking experience from painters such as Acosta León, and Antonia Eiriz, among ohers. In 1960 he started in graphics, and was, precisely, Acosta León who taught him how to make a Xilography. After 1960 he was Professor of Drawing in the Escuela Nacional para Instructores de Arte, (National School for Arts Instructors) and of Xilography; later he passed to the workshop where he made engravings, but now ceramics was his motivation. In 1965 he began working ceramics in Cubanacán Workshop.
More than thirty personal exhibitions in Cuba and many others abroad are in his curriculum from 1958. In 1981 he received the Distinción por la Cultura Nacional (National Culture Award) and in 1988 the Alejo Carpentier Medal. In 1996 he received another one: the Réplica del Machete del General Antonio Maceo Grajales. In 1997 received the Visual Arts Award. Since 1960 the artist has received more than twenty prizes and awards. He has participated more than seventy-five collective exhibitions.
