CURRICULUM VITAE

After his exile from Cuba in 1959 he moved first to San Antonio, Texas and then to Miami, Florida. In 1974 he moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he worked closely with painters of the stature of Joan Miró and Antoní Tapies. He returned to Miami in 1992 and since 1995 works as an art teacher at Miami Dade College, Interamerican Campus. He divides his time between teaching and his painting studio.
