Felipe Garza is a Mexican photographic artist who has lived most of his life in Monterrey, Mexico. He received a Chemical Engineering degree from Stanford University, and an MBA from Cornell University. He traveled extensively during a forty-year career at a Mexican multinational company. His passion for photography began when one of his photographs was published in the 1977 Stanford yearbook. Since then, he has developed a personal style and assiduously studied the art form in photographic workshops. His work has been presented in group exhibitions in the Dominican Republic (ISO-100 Dominicana); in Monterrey (Colectiva Siete); in Mexico City (Cuartoscuro); and in Minneapolis (MPLS photo center).

Having experienced the tensions of the Cold War, my first visit to Cuba was filled with apprehension. Growing up in proximity to the United States, I had often been exposed to negative portrayals of the country. However, what I discovered was a complex tapestry of experiences that echoed my travels elsewhere. While it’s undeniable that Cuba, like many nations, faces challenges ripe for improvement, what struck me most were the profound displays of passion, dedication, energy, and hope among its people. Despite limited material wealth, I encountered a society rich in values and artistry, an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
