He was born in post-revolutionary Cuba in 1987 and educated in an academic setting heavily governed by the Russian Academy. This frame of reference is evident in all of his work. To deny his experiences, perceptions and the impact of history would be disregarding his own existence. These influences are the lens through which he creates and the motivation that propels him.

Cuban history has guided him in a variety of ways. On the one hand, it allows him to rethink the way storytelling is part of our memories. On the other, it allows him to question the accuracy of history and its telling. This conflict absorbed him during his early years and continues to engage him as he complete his artistic education. Currently, this near-obsession with the past translates into figures, scenarios, and most importantly, the recreation of his own stories.
