Painting Mirada by Dennis Gallardo | Painting

Even in his childhood in Santiago de Cuba, Dennis developed a passion for art and drawing. At the age of 5 he made his first creations for a school competition around the theme of cartoons. This event awakened in him a passion for art, and he joined the Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 12 years for his secondary and higher education. In 1990 he graduated from the academy and was given the title of professional artist. He began teaching painting techniques and carrying out restoration work for the Catholic Church in several cities in the region. This contact with early art gradually allowed him to refine his personal technique. In 2004, he left the restoration work and became a freelance artist. Dennis’ world is a mix of fiction and reality. Not having had the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures, he is inspired by photographs brought back by friends. He interprets them and creates an atmosphere between fantasy and reality.
