His greatest influences were the artists of the "Havana School":Carlos Enrquez,Ren Portocarrero,Cundo Bermdez, as well as his professors, most notable being modernist painterFidelio Ponce. He was also a part of the influential group,Los Diez Pintores Concretos(the 10 Concrete Painters), or as they are usually referred to, Los Diez (the 10).[1]Although the group had a relatively short life, 19591961, and exhibited together only a few times, they remain an important part of Cuba's art history especially in the pre-Castro years and leading up to the revolution.[citation needed]He left Cuba in 1968, resigning his teaching position at the academy when Fidel Castro came into power. Based inMiami, he continued to be a prolific painter and until his death in 2004, at the age of 82.[2]
