HERMINIO ESCALONA GONZALEZ

(Guáimaro, Camagüey, 1944) studied at the José Martí School of Fine Arts in Camagüey, and in the Juan Fornet Piña School in Holguín.

In his sculpture Escalona has developed different stylistic lines, one of which is dedicated to carved wood, inspired by the repertory of images

from Taino culture, and another in his work in metal where welding defines the forms in which the stylized human figure is one of the main themes.

Throughout his artistic career Escalona has done commemorative sculpture on historic topics, as well as environmental sculptures that have been placed in several cities in Camagüey and other parts of eastern Cuba. Escalona has had one-person shows in several universities and cultural centers in the United States and Latin America.
