Rosales Jalil  was born in Camagüey, Cuba in 1976 and has resided in Miami since 2011.  A graduate of the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana in 2001, Rosales Jalil  was a professor of sculpture and drawing at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro in Havana and the Academia de Arte Vicentina de la Torre in Camagüey.  He exhibited widely in Cuba and has participated in group exhibitions in Spain, Brazil and other countries.  Long inspired by folk art sculpture and painting as well as Cuba’s long tradition of oneiric art, Rosales Jalil creates watercolors and retablo-like, wall-hanging sculptural scenarios that dramatize the wonder and struggle of the individual sensibility in the maze of modern urban life.  His images have been published in Caliban, a prestigious online magazine of literature and the visual arts.  A sculpture of his was recently admitted into the collection of the Frost Art Museum (FIU).
