Cuban painter formed in the Professional School of Art of Las Tunas (1989-1993). His work is characterized by a figurative painting of strong symbolic and emotional charge, in which he combines a solid treatment of the portrait with narrative elements that suggest poetic and psychological readings.

Throughout his career he has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Cuba, including the Impression, Fayad Jamis, Toulouse Lautrec and Guernica exhibitions at the Las Tunas Provincial Art Center, as well as in shows organized by the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC). His work has also been presented internationally in exhibitions such as "Alma de Cuba" (Asso, Italy, 2007) and in exhibitions of contemporary Cuban art in Italy.

His solo exhibitions include "Síntesis" at the Guillermo Nogueira Gallery (Las Tunas, 1989) and "Voces del Silencio" at the gallery of the Union of Journalists of Cuba (2003). In 2024 he presented a two-person exhibition at the Palazzo Corina in Pieve (Italy).

He has received several awards and recognitions, including prizes at the Impression Salon (1988) and the Toulouse Lautrec Salon (1992), as well as a mention at the Salon La Plastica en Abril (2006).

His work is part of private collections in Europe and the United States, and the artist has also painted murals in Cuba and Germany.
