  • Cuban multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Madrid, Spain. Graduated from the Faculty of Visual Arts at the Higher Institute of Art (ISA) in Havana in 2011. Since then, he has created artworks, organized and produced events in various media, drawing on collaborative work with vulnerable individuals and spaces in his country of origin. He is the founder of the independent publishing house La Maleza. Together with Cuban curator Abel González Fernández and artist Kevin Ávila Rodríguez, he developed the video series SIN349, beginning in 2019, about the young artistic and cultural scene that resisted the implementation of a decree to regulate freedom of expression in Cuba. He holds a Master's degree in Film and Audiovisual Archive from the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, Tabakalera (San Sebastián), and was a recipient of a residency grant from the Spanish Film Academy (Madrid, 2020-2021). He has participated in dozens of exhibitions, festivals and events in countries such as Cuba, the United States, Germany, Spain, Argentina, Switzerland, Austria, among others. In film, he is best known for appearing in the award-winning documentary Crónicas del absurdo (2024) as the presenter of Miguel Coyula's novel La isla vertical (2022).
