A synthetic and self-taught painter, Ernesto Gonzalez Puig was both prolific and extensively exhibited throughout Cuba.

Born in Pinar del Rio, Puig did not attend the available Cuban school of his contemporaries, San Alejandro. Instead, he taught himself how to paint and draw, which led him to create a style all his own.

Initially, Puig would paint a culmination of all of the things which represented Cuba—flowers, animals, birds, the sea and the people. Eventually, these things merged into something more and Puig’s work took on a more Abstract or Expressionist look. However, even these sometimes bizarre compositions still executed the flavor of Cuban life in the colors and details of the painting.

Along with his many oil paintings, Puig was also a muralist. Of all of the Vanguard artists, it has been said that Puig was the one to invest a great part of his life into education. Not just an artist, Puig was also a dean of Psychology at the University of Havana.

During his lifetime, Puig probably did not travel outside of Cuba very often. However, he did exhibit extensively in Cuba, and created a great number of works.
