Roberto Diago is one of the most recognized contemporary artists in Cuba.
He trained at the San Alejandro Academy in 1990 and is a Consulting Professor at the Instituto Superior de Arte, Havana. His work reflects his interest in the legacy of African culture brought by slaves to Cuba, and how it is presented in Cuban society today. He has recently had important exhibitions such as his solo show at the Lowe Museum in Miami. A regular at the best art fairs in the United States and Latin America, he has also shown his work at fairs such as ARCO Madrid and FIAC Paris, as well as at the biennials of Venice, Havana and Dakar. His work is kept in the National Museum of Havana, Deste Foundation of Athens, Brownstone Foundation of Paris, CIFO Collection of Florida, Boston Fine Arts Museum or Jorge M. Pérez Museum of Miami, among many other internationally renowned collections.
