Historia
Carlos Enrique Prado (1978, Cuba) is a visual artist and professor of visual arts, particularly of ceramics. He is currently Lecturer of Ceramics at the University of Miami's Art and Art History Department.
Throughout his career, he has been working predominantly in sculpture and ceramics, but has also made drawings, paintings, photographs, digital art, installations, interventions, and performances. His works have been focused towards contextual and social commentary, always with a strong anthropological perspective. In 1996 he graduated in sculpture and drawing at the National Academy of Fine Arts "San Alejandro." In 2002 he received a BFA from ISA University of the Arts of Cuba, the most important center of arts education in the country. He also received a MFA from that University in 2008. His works have been exhibited at major art institutions, museums, and galleries in the United States and Europe, and they are part of important private and public collections. He has also been an organizer and curator of several projects of solo and group shows as well as exhibitions of students of his courses.
As a visual artist, he has a very large body of work. Recently, much of his sculptures and installations have been made in ceramics. In this medium has achieved great reputation with first prizes in Ceramics Biennials and works in collections of major museums such as the National Museum of Ceramics in Havana and the ASU Art Museum Ceramics Research Center, Arizona. He has also been a visiting artist and lecturer at several universities and art schools such as University of Southern California in 2013, Midwestern State University in 2012, Arizona State University in 2011, and University of Alabama in 2010. He has been a visiting professor teaching ceramic courses and demonstration classes, such as summer course taught at University of Mary Washington (Fredericksburg, VA) in 2011, which culminated with an exhibition in one of the major galleries in the city.
Digital art is another medium where Prado has developed much of his recent work, achieving great recognition. The works are the result of a symbiosis between sculpture and digital media, particularly the construction of 3D designs and further processing as photographic images for print. The final digital prints have been part of several exhibitions and have been published in art magazines.
