When, in 2006, Prográfica voted him most distinguished young designer on the island, they were already recognising a whole journey. Graduated in 1998 in computer design, this young illustrator who has won many prizes and has an impressive curriculum is not only an expert in user interface design for multimedia and websites but he also cultivates humour and advertising. Together with his group "Chameleon", he represents a new generation of cartoonists, the inheritors of Rostgaard, Muñoz Bachs or Azcuy, masters of the golden period of Cuban graphics in the 60s, 70s and 80s...
