A work that will make you reborn… These art work consists of a furrow of earth in which I place people, as if they were seeds that must germinate. Each person wears the same garment, and I photograph them from above, so that only the tops of their heads are visible in the images. The […]

Transforming the Digital into a Physical Product. DIGITAL NECTAR Through this photographic series, I explore how the digital world has become a kind of “nectar” that sweetens and replaces our essential experiences.Using a liquid metaphor —a sweet visual substance served from the screen— I reflect on how human relationships, desire, memory, politics, power, and consumption […]

Moods is a visual series that explores human emotions through compositions of fruits, colors, and geometric forms. Each piece represents an attitude or feeling, translated into organized structures that symbolize sensory patterns of the mind. Works such as Apple of Discord, Confused Pineapple, Relaxed Avocado, Half-Ripe or Half-Green Banana, Troubled Mango, Contradictory Lemon, Lovestruck Strawberry, […]

The year 2022 marked a pivotal moment of consolidation and personal growth in my life in the United States. Fully adapted to life in Miami, we built our home in this vibrant city and found a meaningful way to make a living.From this journey of settling in—and the emotions it stirred—new creative works were born. […]

During a trip to Valencia, Spain, the inspiration for this series emerged after visiting an exhibition of archaeological remains from ancient Egypt. While photographing fragments of that civilization, I reflected on how structures of power have been a continuous cycle throughout human history: different names, but the same recurring patterns of domination. Pharaoh, The Story […]

This year marked the period of recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, it still carried the weight of the great historical pause brought by isolation, when memories of the land where I was born continued to intoxicate me. Although I lived in Miami, USA, my mind constantly flew back to the place where I grew […]

The year 2020 was defined by the COVID-19 pandemic — an unprecedented and extraordinary moment in our history. Across the world, life came to a standstill as we remained confined to our homes. Time became abundant, and with it, memories resurfaced and overtook us.It was within this context that the Parallel Universes series was born. […]

After several years in Miami —a city to which, in my opinion, one can only truly adapt after at least five years—, I began to understand its identity: its progress, challenges, and contradictions. The series Drops of Miami features photographs taken through the wet window of my car, showing fragments of a city that today […]

This year, I traveled to Barcelona, Spain. From that trip, and from a previous one to Cuba, the work Gaudí in Revolutionary Havana emerged — a piece that symbolically blends both worlds. During this same period, new visions began to trouble me in my life in the United States. Basic concerns like food, clothing, or […]

As I often repeat, my work is nothing more than a diary written in creative codes. These years of my life mark my arrival in Miami: the discovery of a new world, full of opportunities, but also charged with uncertainty, learning, and nostalgia. The works I created during this time faithfully reflect those experiences. They […]

In 2013–2014, I emigrated definitely out of Cuba to the United States, driven by my rejection of the Cuban dictatorship, despite enjoying certain “benefits” as a “validated artist.” It was in this context that the SI project was born — a hopeful tribute to a future of freedom and opportunity beyond the island. Initially based […]

“La mentirosa” (2009–2011) was a pioneering digital initiative I conceived from Cuba, where email became the only available mass‐communication medium. For three years I sent a creative newsletter each month to over a thousand recipients, aiming to question and counter the artistic, political, and social canons of the time. The project existed solely through those […]

note: GUSANOS (“Worms” – derogatory Cuban slang for emigrants) GUSANOS was a self-referential project that I began in 2010, while I was still living in Cuba. At that time, the island felt — and still feels — like a surreal world, with its own unique logics and illogical structures, vastly different from the Western world […]

Networks of Confidences was a project I began with little expectation while living in Cuba. However, over time, it grew and became increasingly complex. The series began with the intention of creating a photographic memory of my network of friends and family in their homes—a visual record of that time. I had the idea to […]

Urban Emotions (Cuestiones de estados) is a series of visual works that arises from a deep reflection on the states of mind and thought processes that constantly affect both the individual and social existence of human beings. These eternal and universal disturbances are expressed through a group of found objects, discovered during a photographic exploration […]

This photographic series is a tribute to the old sugar mill where I grew up. For many years, from the age of 5 to 21, I lived in Central Dos Rosas. I grew up watching the sugar mill grind and produce sugar, but starting in the 1990s, due to the crisis that Cuba was — […]

This project marked a major step in my creative experimentation. For the first time, with this exhibition, I broke away from the conventions of traditional photography. I presented the project at the 23 y 12 Gallery in Vedado, Havana, Cuba. For this show, I created works that blended photography, design, and advertising. The idea behind […]

This period of work reflects a creative phase marked by confusion and change in my life. During my early years in photography, I learned how to develop and print analog photographs. I knew the entire process — from taking photos with film negatives, developing them with chemicals, to manually printing the images in a darkroom. […]

TV PLAY was a photographic installation created in 2004. The central idea of the project revolved around the influence of television on people’s everyday lives (at that time, the internet was still in its early stages). Each piece in the installation was the result of a visual action: I placed a television displaying a selected […]
