My name is E Alba. I was born in Havana, Cuba.
I am a self-taught artist. I always had a passion for anything related to art. In some way I have been always an artist. I guess you are born with the seed inside you, and it never goes away.
Like the Candide of Voltaire, I decided to travel as much as I could, and in this way, to be able to learn from people who are living in different kinds of societies and cultures. I have lived in Cuba, Spain, England, Germany, United States and Canada. Like Candide, one day I got tired of traveling, and decided to “cultivate my garden”.
“My garden” is my paintings and other few things that make me happy.
I live and work in Canada.
