"Nothing compares to exploration of a mental vision in a limitless unreal world...." Caballero is a Cuban born architect presently residing in Virginia within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. He began his artistic career during the early fifties at the Plastic Arts School in his native Camaguey, Cuba, a branch of the well known "San Alejandro" Art School, directed by Jorge Arche, one of the leading Cuban painters of the time. His work is a mixture of fantasy and realism which may be defined as the evolution of "Symbolism-Surrealism," where mysterious figures melt between dreams and reality. According to him it is most important to be able to express the full range of human emotions. ("Osmus" magazine publication, 1995, Issue No. 4) |
"Nada es comparable a las imágenes de un mundo de fantasías sin límites..." Caballero es un arquitecto cubano que reside en Virginia, en el area Metropolitana de Washington, D.C. Comenzó sus estudios como pintor en Camagüey, Cuba, su tierra natal, en la década del 50. Estudió en la Academia de Artes Plásticas, hermana de la conocida academia de pintura "San Alejandro." Su director/maestro fué el reconocido pintor Jorge Arche. Su obra pictórica es definida como una evolución entre el "Simbolismo y el Surrealismo." Los personajes en sus pinturas se mueven entre un mundo de sueños y realidades. Según él, lo importante es poder captar las infinitas emociones del ser humano y expresarlas."
