Alberto Stuart Oviedo

I am Cuban and work as sculptor since 1992. I have learned my profession in various sculpting groups in Havana as well as studied a degree in Plastic Arts. I work mainly with wood creating abstract forms emphasizing lines and movement. In my art you can see the two roots of my culture; the Spanish and the African. I have worked also with marble and stone, I do some painting and graphics too. Here in Finland I have experimented also with ceramics.
