Angel Terry

Artist Angel Mena Terry is originally from Havana, Cuba. Angel is a self-taught painter and photographer. He holds engineering and Master of Science degrees in Marine Cartography from the NIIGAiK Institute of Novosibirsk in Siberia, Russia, where he spent five years before returning to Cuba. 

He immigrated to Canada in 1995, bringing with him tropical colors, which he introduces to otherwise peaceful Canadian scenes. 

Angel settled in Fredericton in 1998.  In earlier years, he expressed himself artistically through photography, through which he sharpened his eye for composition and color.  But more recently, painting has become his main passion. In 2015, he retired from The Boeing Company where he worked as an engineer for the Charting Direction to pursue his passion for arts professionally, dedicating his time to his home studio. Angel’s distinctive style is characterized by whimsical shapes, large and fast brushstrokes, and vibrant bold colors that are rarely blended.
