Alfredo Sosabravo
Alfredo Sosabravo, ceramist and painter, was born in Sagua la Grande, Cuba, in october 25, 1930. He studied art at the annex school of San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy, but he is basically a self-taught artist. Nature, birds and fish are permanent motifs in his work. His ceramics recreate nature and human body forms. His pictorial creations are permeated by vegetable shapes mixing mechanic elements in a surrealist expression present on paintings and murals. What Sosabravo tried to build all these years is barely assessed as a cathedral to illusion of happiness, joy of living as many others did before.
Sosabravo won important awards in Cuba and abroad. Until the year of 2000, he had participated in more than sixty group exhibitions and about thirty solo exhibits worldwide such as: “anatomicums”, ceramic sculptures, franz meyer museum, Mexico (1988), “graphics and sculptures”, casa baumann, terrasa,Spain (1994), "el guardián de lo pequeño" gallery, Madrid, art gallery of the pireos town hall, Greece (1997), (2000), dibujos-collages, la acacia, gallery, La Havana (2004) , “pinturas y esculturas” , fundación gate one, Italy, “pinturas y grabados” ,castel dell´ovo, Italy (2003), óleos ,gómez fine art, Puerto Rico, "and life is a game", cernuda arte, Florida (2002). …
