Abstract Art in Metal

Cuban sculptor Ramón Víctor Casas Viera, well-known for his abstract works in metal, has decided to incorporate woodcarving and scenography into his creative work, enthusiastically reviving knowledge he has accumulated during his fruitful career as artist and teacher.
His works in metal, exhibited in galleries in Europe and Latin America as well as in Cuba, are small, as if they were models that don't lose their quality and which can be transformed to scale into enormous pieces.
Born in 1954 in the small town of Florida, in the eastern province of Camagüey, this sculptor and painter began his artistic career in the provincial art school of Camagüey. Then he went to the National School of Arts and the Higher Arts Institute, both in Havana.
