Humberto Calzada was born in Cuba in 1944 and has lived in the United States since 1960. In 1966 he received a degree in Industrial
Engineering, followed by an MBA in Finance (1968) from the University of Miami. He began painting in 1972 and since 1974 has dedicated his time
exclusively to painting.
His work has been said to carry on the classical Latin American artistic tradition: dreamlike realism, tension created by the
contrast between calm and conflict, and the use of timeless symbols as a universal language.
Throughout his career, he has applied these themes through architectural magery. He depicts harmony through the use of natural
elements, and he depicts conflict through the opposition of the ephemeral movement of light and water against the static force of stone and glass.
