Cuban painter Carlos Trillo, one of the most famous and talented practitioners of abstractionism, died today in Havana at the age of 81 from respiratory arrest
Within abstraction, he used materials such as sand, glue, marble dust, paste, plaster, asphalt and rotten wood in his works.
From his first personal exhibition (1967) he prevailed with his peculiar style, also evidenced, among others, in the exhibitions ocher and blue (National Library, 1974) and Ana, time and walls (23 and 12, 1982), the series manhattan 97 Y Here they come to give all the winds (Manuela Gallery, 2011).
He also cultivated sculpture, with works in concrete and metal.
His works are in public collections of cultural institutions, museums, universities and are part of private collections and diplomatic offices of different countries.
Another sensitive loss for Cuban culture. Our condolences to family, friends and colleagues.
