Rafael Dieguez Born in Habana, Cuba in 1962. With a degree in Fine Arts, residing in Spain since 1997, where I have made numerous expositions, personal as well as collective and works in important collections; public as well as private. I love all animals, but I always felt a special preference for dogs. They are exceptional being, noble, loving and give unconditional loyalty, by our side like the saying goes "man's best friend". A word from the Art Gallery and Antiques: Andres Amor, on the inauguration of the personal exposition of Rafael Dieguez, in Viego, Spain in 2005. "He began the series: Nostagia of Infancy, when he painted a picture of a friend's dog in the company of a small child symbolizing innocence, as a Christmas gift. That's how the fifty drawings that comprise the marvelous exposition in mall art format were born.
