Florencio Gelabert Pérez (1904-1995) is considered one of the most influential sculptors in the history of Cuban art of the 20th century. His work reflects a transition between classic techniques and styles and an exploration towards new forms of expression. Gelabert is known for his contributions to monumental art in Cuba, as well as for his impact on the training of new generations of artists through his pedagogical work. He studied at the prestigious Academia de San Alejandro in Havana, where he acquired a solid foundation in classical sculpture techniques. Later, he continued his training in Europe, especially in France and Italy, where he immersed himself in the modernist trends of the time. Gelabert developed his work in a Cuba marked by intense social and political changes. He witnessed the influence of the European avant-garde, which shaped his artistic approach, as he sought to integrate Cuban national identity into his work. His sculptures reflect a deep commitment to Cuban cultural roots and a constant search for innovation.
