José Garcia Montebravo
Room 4 - Painting Archive |
|
Born - October 15, 1953; Cienfuegos, Cuba.
Biography - A self-taught artist, Montebravo began to paint in 1980 and had his first solo exhibition in 1984. He still lives in the town of Cienfuegos, where he is a leading member of the art community. Montebravo paints strong portrayals of religious figures, particularly the orishas, or Santeria deities. Many of his paintings depict birds, animals and the lush Cuban plant life but with a strength which suggests an allegorical or religious symbolism as well. He has exhibited individually and collectively, in Europe and the United States as well as in Cuba. Montebravo was featured in an article by Joan Pearlman in the Folk Art Messenger (Winter/Spring 2001). To read the article click here.
