Known for his indefatigable vitality and love of his work, the sculptor kept the doors open to his studio on Northwest 36th Street open for everyone who wanted to watch him work while offering his guests the chance to talk about art and history of Cuba, of which he had been an active player in the countrys cultural and public life during its years as a republic. Tony was a wonderful person, a friend who never ceased to call you and who always tried to make us laugh, said art collector Gustavo Orta, who organized and was the curator of the exhibit celebrating the sculptors 90th birthday at the gallery at the Miami Dade College Doral Campus. I believe I was born with a ball of clay in my hand, Lpez said in an interview withEl Nuevo Heraldin September 2008 at the exhibit honoring his 90th birthday. Lpez began his training at the atelier of his father, a Spanish sculptor who was a professor at Rancho Boyeros Technical School in the outskirts of Havana, where Lpez continued his training as sculptor. Lpezs father created the image of Christ at the portal of the Iglesia de la Reina in Havana. In 1939, Lpez won his first important award, a medal of the Bellas Artes circle with the bust of a union militant. In the next two decades he was known for his caricature sculptures, in which he carved images of public and political figures that were later published in the Bohemia magazine.
