Manuel Azcuy was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba where he developed his prowess and individual artistic technique and style. Graduated from the Professional School of Arts with a Major in painting (Pinar del Rio 2004) He continued to pursue his passion for art as a professor of drawing at the same school (2005-2007), for over a decade as his talent and artistic personality grew to mature. Manuel's education in art includes studies and teaching in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and art history. Throughout his artistic career, his work has evolved through various phases of realism to his most current works in figurative expressionism.
"With my paintings, it is my intention to reflect in a subjective way the feelings and emotions of man. The artistic atmosphere and pictorial treatment are interrelated with the mystical and obscure. I am captivated by the figuration of the grotesque expressive as a source for my poetics. I try to capture the vulnerability and weakness of the human body aimed at a social criticism."
Manuel Azcuy has exhibited his art throughout Cuba, Miami, and the United States, showcasing his unique paintings in private galleries, studios, cultural centers, and other art venues. He has received awards and prizes in the United States and Cuba for his artwork.
