Cuban Artist Aisar Jalil Martínez

The world needs to know about the formidable artistic work of prestigious Cuban painter Aáisar Jalil Martínez, native of the central province of Camaguey and who is of Lebanese descent.

Back in 1968 at the age of 15 I decided to start studying at the Provincial Art School of Camaguey, Cuba said the 61-year-old artist. I then attended Havanarsquo;s National School of Art and later the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Leningrad (formerly part of the Soviet Union), where I obtained the title of Master of Fine Arts in 1983", said Jalil, whose academic training is as sculptor.

The economic conditions of the country were very difficult during the so-called Special Period in the 1990rsquo;s and producing a sculpture was very costly, so I started doing what eventually became my forte which is painting and graphics".
