‘Today is the birthday of great painter, draftsman, engraver and ceramist Sosabravo, one of the most important and recognized Cuban artists. My congratulations and hugs to our dear Master,’ Alonso posted on Twitter.

The National Council of Plastic Arts extended its congratulations to the artist with ‘the desire that he continues to create adventures, fantasies and delight us with his magnificent works,’ it tweeted.

Sosabravo, whose style established a trend for future generations, has created a distinctive work due to the mastery of techniques as different and complex as lithography, engraving, ceramics or work with Murano Glass that he has exhibited in workshops in France, Poland and Italy.
