Description
Cuban Artist Carlos Estevez Mixed Media Drawing, Havana, Signed

Offered for sale is a mixed media (crayon and pastel) on black paper titled "El Arte de Amaestrar" (The art of Training) signed lower right La Habana and dated 2002. The title translates to the art of teaching an animal to perform certain movements or skills following a person's commands as a marionette would. This work of art is framed in a shadow box and floating behind clear UV resistant non glare plexiglass with acid-free museum boards. Carlos Estévez is a Cuban visual artist. He received the Grand Prize in the First Salon of Contemporary Cuban Art in 1995, as well as The Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant in 2015.

Carlos Estévez was born in Havana in 1969. Estévez graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte, Havana, Cuba, in 1992. He has done residencies at the Academia de San Carlos, UNAM, Mexico (1997), Gasworks Studios, London, England (1997), the UNESCO-ASCHBERG in The Nordic Artists' Center in Dale, Norway (1998), Art-OMI Foundation, New York, USA (1998), The Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA, USA (2002), Cité internationale des arts in Paris, (2003–2004), Montclair University, New Jersey, USA (2005), and the McColl Center in Charlotte, NC, USA (2016). He received the Grand Prize in the First Salon of Contemporary Cuban Art in 1995, as well as The Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant in 2015.[1] His work La batalla permanente de la vida transitoria (The Permanent Battle of the Transitory Life), from 2010, is included in the permanent collection of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida.

His work at the McColl Center in Charlotte formed the foundation for what would eventually become an extensive proficiency in ceramics. In the four months that he spent at the center, he made over 200 ceramic pieces. His plates, especially, have a unique elegance and concentrate on color, expressive shapes, and thematic abstractions that refer to architecture, astronomy, and anatomy.
