Born in Havana, Cuba in 1967, Edel Alvarez Galban, aka AGalban, has always had a fascination with everything artistic. From his infancy he painted everything around him, becoming a threat to all the walls, furniture and electrical devices in his childhood home, no one wanted the child to visit their home for fear he would start “decorating”. Elementary teachers noticed very early his interest and artistic talent, but later in adolescence his vocation for medicine tilted the balance to study medicine until he became a doctor.
In 1995 he came to the United States where he joined the United States Army. He later passed the US medical boards and became certified as a Physician. His current medium for artwork has been painting with mixed media and this work has been shown in several cities throughout the United States, Central America and the Caribbean.
