Enrique José Varona. Havana, Cuba Bachelor in Fine Arts

Curiosity has always been present in my personality. It is my goal to keep my students motivated, studying, learning, and creating their own works of art. One of the most rewarding things for me as an educator is seeing them grow as future artists and being able to help them prepare to dive into the art career. I thank the Sagemont Preparatory family for their constant support so these young men and woman can fulfill their dreams one day.

We study the art of different artists from the past and compare their aesthetic and philosophical concepts with contemporary artists. This is the best way to prepare them for a future in the arts. Talent is something that is carried within; my job is just to help them develop and capture it. The arts help us grow as better human beings. It makes us more sensitive, more social, and also forges our character and our personality and gives us more confidence and security in ourselves. My role as an educator is to continue to instill best practices in all of my students so they can develop these lifelong values.
