Thank you for visiting my virtual gallery. I appreciate very much your interest
in my art, and in Cuban art in general.
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

This day before dawn I ascended a hill and
look'd at the crowded heaven,
And I said to my spirit When we become the
enfolders of those orbs, and the pleasure and
knowledge of every thing in them, shall we be
fill'd and satisfied then?
And my spirit said No, we but level that lift to
pass and continue beyond.
Walt Whitman - Song of Myself
