He began to paint more and to study and to learn. He'd had no training, yet the images he created in spite of being a beginner, were surprisingly good. He found that he could paint! Not only could he paint, but he seemed to have a gift for it. What happened next helped him to find the direction he was looking for in his life. Having never painted, Roly was reluctant at first, but eventually relented. One day, to cheer him up, a friend came by with some paints and brushes and invited Roly to paint with him. He liked it, and he liked the people he met, but something was missing for him. He vowed at that moment to leave his work as a body guard and pursue a new way of life.Īt the time, he didn't know what that new life would be, but he got out of the security business and found the job that he was in when I met him in what I would call the hospitality/tourist industry. The next morning, even though he'd felt justified in defending his friend, he was sick about how badly he'd hurt this man. Roly intervened, and, using his marshal arts skills, hurt the attacker badly. While Roly was with her one evening at her home, the ex kicked in his friend's door and attacked her. He was at the home of a woman he knew well who was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend. The story he shared went something like this. (He said he'd learned English by watching the few American TV shows they could view in Cuba!) He told me about his life in Cuba, about training in the marshal arts for most of his life, about being a body guard, about his wife and family, and about the events that led him to make a career change and eventually discover his talent as an artist. One night, after the rest of our group had gone to bed, Roly and I sat up on the balcony overlooking Havana Harbor and talked well into the night. Because, I think, he is about the age of my son, and because he has such a positive character and personality, I was drawn to him. He was on the staff at the apartment and was filling the roles of Concierge, Bartender, Money Changer, Cook and whatever else his guests called for during their stay. Twenty-six-year-old Roly Castelliny was working in an apartment in Havana where I was staying while in Cuba in 2015. ( See more of Roly's paintings in this gallery I created.) We noticed too many people had a problem spelling it, so we shortened it to DMD.Roly Castelliny in front of one of his paintings in his home in Old Havana. your pictures are *not* automatically uploaded unless you explicitly request it.ĭerManDar means all-around in Lebanese slang. ![]() we only stitch the pictures you take with the app,.our app only shoots cylindrical panoramas,.It’s the only way I can explain it.” Frankly speaking, we don’t employ magical creatures, but our image processing algorithms analyze data from several components including gyro, compass and accelerometer sensors. “Absolutely fantastic app!
