At the age of sixteen, he entered the San Alejandro Academy in Havana, where he received formal training in the visual arts. During his formative years, he had the opportunity to explore different styles and techniques, allowing him to refine his mastery of drawing and painting. In the mid-1970s, Larraz settled in New York, where his artistic career reached new horizons. His style became characterized by the combination of realistic and surrealist elements in intriguing, narrative compositions. His paintings reflect a deep observation of the human condition, exploring themes such as solitude, irony, and social critique.


Larraz’s distinctive technique is marked by meticulous attention to detail and his command of light and color. His works often present an ethereal atmosphere and a sense of stillness, inviting the viewer to reflect on the complexity of human existence.
