Terri Cabral - 2011
Artist's Statement:
"I am a self-taught artist. At the age of ten I picked up a pencil and began to draw portraits. My uncle, Antonio Gattorno, who was one Cuba’s Modern Masters, often gave me art supplies – pens, ink, charcoal, paints, canvases and even his own drawing table. But I never took lessons from him. My family did not want to impose on him. I would often study his paintings that hung in his home, my home and the homes of my relatives. I continue to be greatly influenced by his work. He was known for his versatility and his ability to paint masterfully in a variety of styles. I am constantly experimenting with styles and developing my sense of versatility."
