[1][2][3] He was an artist and scenic designer whose works and notoriety existed for several decades before the Cuban Revolution, and survive into the modern era.

By 1932, when Andrés was only 16 years old, he had already sold his first paintings, had his first art show, and had been hired by Alfredo T. Quiléz to draft covers for Carteles, one of the most popular magazines in Cuba.

[5] Andrés worked as a graphic artist and illustrator for Carteles and Vanidades for over twenty years, until 1961, when the magazine industry in Cuba was completely shuttered by the Castro regime.

[6] More notably, he designed the productions of Doña Rosita the Spinster, The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife, Electra Garrigó, and Romeo and Juliet.

[5] Andrés collaborated with maestro Ramiro Guerra on the ballet productions of Havana 1830, El Milagro de Anaquillé, and Liborio y esperanza.
