Fernando Goderich
Fabars
My name is Fernando Goderich Fabars
I was
born November 1, 1969 in
Santiago
de Cuba. At a very early age I had the first signs of my vocation
in plastic arts. At 4 years of age I earned my first prize in a drawing
class where I was until the age of 11. In 1980, I entered the
Academy of Plastic Arts - Jose Joaquin Tejada, where
I was chosen to attend, ( not without being put to an aptitude test -
of 40 boys who attended only 7 of us were accepted in the academy).
Here I began my professional education in all the branches of
Plastic Arts, that is to say, sculpture, painting, engraving,
drawing, etc;
It is from here that I began
to develop my artistic concepts in all the scopes of Cuban and
universal painting; being in the academy I participated in
several exhibitions and events of plastics and in 1984 I gained my
first mention in a painting contest. In this academy I studied until
1988, the year in which I discussed in my thesis of graduation in the
engraving specialty developing my work in the engraving technique on
stone (Lithography). This thesis consisted of a personal exhibition
titled " Action and sub conscientious
development " with this I obtained the title of Professor of
Drawing and Engraving. This personal exhibition was held in Galleria de
Arte Universal, situated in Vista Alegre.
Months later I found out that this exhibition was totally
sold in Germany in a fair of Graphical Arts. I did not obtain
absolutely anything from this sale, although it paid for my studies in
the academy.
From 1988 to 1989 I worked an
entire year in the decoration and design of Baconao park (in
equipment) making fences of propaganda and presentation of projects.
From 1990 to 1992 I studied
for my Superior Institute Pedagogical Frank Pais Degree in Plastic
Arts, at this time I was working as an independent artist when the Pan
American Games and Del Caribe 1991
began, I was in charge of equipment that projected and
designed the localities and centers of festivities in the reopening of
Heredia street, obtaining all type of successes.
From 1993 to 1997 I worked
with the Department of Municipal Culture and for the Cultural Athenian;
Antonio Bravo Correoso of which I am a founding member and I still
belong.
In 1996 I made on theses
premises a painted mural
of which were made many photographic reviews. Since
then, time
and bad care destroyed it completely - only the pictures remain. In
this same year I made
for Spain, specifically for the Athenian Confluence's, of
Barcelona, a small personal exhibition, also this
year I designed the dinner menu of the Hotel Casa
Granda in its re-inauguration.
In 1998 I began to work as
graphical designer in Editorial Oriente where I am working at the
moment, developing works of design. I have worked on
illustrations in more than one hundred books and in three
editions of the magazine SIC.
At the moment I am working on
my fourth personal exhibition in which I plan to illustrate the almost
20 years of artistic learning.
