Wingsofarts.com: Luis Alberto Faraco was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba May 11th, 1951. His education in the School of Arts of Pinar del Rio and his time spent as a graphic designer for the News press of Pinar del Rio from 1971-1993 helped him develop his unique creations. Faraco has always spent the majority of his time developing his art and showcasing it throughout Cuba and Europe since the early 1970's. Then in the early 1990's Faraco did a turnaround in his art and started to develop his art in a modern twist showcasing the reality of his country struggles and folklore lifestyle. He also integrated his knowledge and art devotion to emphasis in Contemporary Cuban Folklore Art demonstrating his techniques in ceramic historical interpretations of mask and pipes of the earlier Cuban era. Faraco has as well done his own interpretation of Cuban-Afro religion with his paintings and short book that describes his own experience in the religion.
