Damien Cruz

Biography

I was born in Havana, Cuba, and lived there until 1999, when I emigrated to the United States. Currently I live and work in Miami, Florida. As a child I would spend long hours drawing. At 16, a professor of Art saw some of my paintings and decided to help me further my career by accepting me in his workshop. A few years later I entered the prestigious San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts, where I was placed directly at the fourth-year level of the program. In my paintings I reflect my experiences and my emotions. In most cases the subject matter is based on both my memories of Cuban landscapes and my imagination. The present collection is a sample of works created over the past several years. Since the launch of my virtual gallery I have received many e-mails offering advise, marketing expertise, shared experiences and most importantly, encouraging words. I thank you very much for your kind words and for your encouragement. Sincerely, Damien Cruz, Artist.
