Abel Perez Mainegra lived in the colonial city of Trinidad, Cuba. He was born in a nearby town of Condado in the1920's. Accounts of his exact age vary. We recently learned from his family that Abel passed away in 2011.
An entirely self-taught painter, Abelito Perez Mainegra painted scenes of the history of his historic town of Trinidad, and of the Cuban nation. He was also known for portraits of historical and religious figures, such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Jose Marti, George W. Bush and Jesus Christ. His work has been exhibited in Barcelona, Mexico, New York and Philadelphia, as well as in his native Cuba.
