Born in La Habana, Cuba, studied Graphic Design at the School of Graphic Desing & later Printmaking at the artist union workshop (UNEAC) under master printer Roger Aguilar where he met Raimundo Garcia, Umberto Peña, and Raul Martinez. His early paintings and drawings were evocative of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, influenced by Roberto Matta. In the late 1970's, following travels through Cuba, Orbein emerged in his neighborhood of Cayo Hueso, La Habana with paintings that combined elements of gestural abstraction, drawing, and writing. He was the first Cuban artist to use graffiti-like marks or scribbles. This kind of graffiti was derived from urban centers and from the German's New Realists, especially the work of Anselm Kieifer and Cy Twombly as well as Robert Rauschenberg. Orbein moved to the US in 1980. There his compositions became more elaborate and the paint surface denser and more textured. His paintings took on the look of Old Havana walls mixed with references to African in color and markings that often refer to the diaspora and literature of the continent. At once both epic and intimate, Orbein's work is infused with references to literature andlandscape, especially that of the Abacua Society. The artist died. He was a great man and a good friend.
