Exquisite Arts Magazine Vol 9- Fall Issue 2018 | Page 7

I grew up in Santa Clara, Cuba and became
fascinated with art at an early age. I
remember helping my grandfather make charcoal
from the Aroma tree. I always looked forward to
helping him because it was a way for me to get free
material to draw. I would pick up empty cigarettes
boxes and brake them so I could use the white
surface in the inside of the box to draw.
I really enjoyed drawing with charcoal in different
surfaces and it helped me capture my passion
for art.
