In 1939 Agustín receives his first drawing lessons and the following year he enters the Jesuit school Belén de Embarque and takes his first painting classes. In 1959 he returned to Europe motivated by a scholarship granted by the Government of Cuba. In 1968 he moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where in 1971 he prepared 20 collages on Serigraphy, presenting it in the Colibrí Gallery of San Juan itself; in 1972 he traveled again to New York, where he lived until his last days. Agustín Fernández dies on June 1, 2006 in New York, United States. Agustin Fernandez was born in Havana in 1928. On his own words: "I used to go to my grandmother's house as a child, and we would draw together. When I was twelve, I took private drawing lessons, and at fifteen, I decided to register at San Alejandro, although no one in my family wanted me to be a painter. In Havana there was a great deal of contact among established artists. Cuba is small, and Havana smaller still. I was to be nourished by a thousand things when I went abroad. From a realist and figurative painter I went through a phase when I would only paint still-life. Around 1959, while in Paris, I began to make the images more concrete, to condense; later, I would start to use beige, or sober colors, white and black with earth tones. In Paris I was guided by artists like Enrique Senal and Roberto Matta, and encouraged by the independent surrealists; not so by Breton and his circle. In my work there are certain erotic references which have images compelling to me. There are things one sees subconsciously that conjure up specific images. But my work is not erotic. My esthetic preoccupation has been with volume, and with the oscillation between the exact and the inexact. I have always painted the some theme, but in different ways. Even so, my paintings were more Cuban, more romantic before 1960; in exile they have become more metaphysical. I don't know if exile influences my work, but it has influenced me. It is not that I left Cuba, it's not being able to return." En el año 1939 Agustín recibe sus primeras lecciones de dibujo y al año siguiente ingresa a la escuela jesuita Belén de Embarque y toma sus primeras clases de Pintura. En 1959 regresa a Europa motivado por una beca otorgada por el Gobierno de Cuba. En 1968 se traslada a San Juan, Puerto Rico, donde en 1971 prepara 20 collages sobre Serigrafía, presentándolo en la Galería Colibrí del propio San Juan; en 1972 viaja nuevamente a Nueva York, donde radicó hasta sus últimos días. Agustín Fernández fallece el 1 de junio del 2006 en Nueva York, Estados Unidos. Agustín Fernández nació en La Habana en 1928. En sus propias palabras: "Solía ​​ir a la casa de mi abuela cuando era niña, y dibujábamos juntos. Cuando tenía doce años, tomaba lecciones privadas de dibujo, y a los quince, decidí para registrarme en San Alejandro, aunque nadie en mi familia quería que fuera pintor. En La Habana había un gran contacto entre artistas consagrados: Cuba es pequeña y La Habana aún más pequeña. Tenía que alimentarme de mil cosas. cuando fui al extranjero. De un pintor realista y figurativo pasé por una fase en la que solo pintaría naturalezas muertas. Alrededor de 1959, mientras estaba en París, comencé a hacer las imágenes más concretas, a condensar; luego, comenzaba a uso de colores beige o sobrios, blanco y negro con tonos tierra. En París fui guiado por artistas como Enrique Senal y Roberto Matta, y alentado por los surrealistas independientes, no así por Breton y su círculo. En mi trabajo hay ciertos eróticos referencias que tienen imágenes convincentes para mí. Hay cosas uno ve subconscientemente que evoca imágenes específicas. Pero mi trabajo no es erótico. Mi preocupación estética ha sido con el volumen y con la oscilación entre lo exacto y lo inexacto. Siempre he pintado el tema, pero de diferentes maneras. Aun así, mis pinturas eran más cubanas, más románticas antes de 1960; en el exilio se han vuelto más metafísicos. No sé si el exilio influye en mi trabajo, pero me ha influenciado. No es que me haya ido de Cuba, no pueda regresar ".
