Roberto Torres Lameda

I will be away from the gallery from January 27th to February 4th, and so will not be shipping orders or open for visitors at the gallery. The Indigo Arts website will be active as always. I will respond to emails as soon as possible. I will be able to ship orders after February 4th, 2025.
Happy GroundHog Day!

Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

About the Artist

Roberto Torres Lameda at Indigo Arts Gallery - Philadelphia, Oct. 2002

Roberto Torres Lameda was born in 1956, in Paraiso, Cuba. He is a member of the 'Grupo Bayate' collective of self- taught artists in the Village of Mella, near Santiago de Cuba. Torres Lameda paints lovely, minutely-detailed landscapes and natural scenes. When not painting Torres Lameda works as a driver and an electrician. He has been in numerous group shows in Cuba and the United States. His first visit to the United States was for the Por Un Mundo Mejor exhibition at Indigo Arts Gallery in October and November 2002, and his work was included in the 2009 show, Visiones 2: New Art from Cuba.

Since 2010 Roberto's work has been displayed almost every summer at the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe. In March 2024 it was included in Cuban Self-Taught: Paintings from the Indigo Arts Collection a show at the Zephirin-Giannetta Gallery in Ardmore, PA, and in November 2024 in Por Un Mundo Mejor, a show celebratiing thirty years of the Grupo Bayate at the Salzmann Photography Center in Philadelphia. Roberto has now emigrated to Brazil and unfortunately does not appear to be producing any new work.
