Luis Cobiella Cuevas

The Real Academia Canaria de Bellas Artes records that Luis Cobiella Cuevas was born in Santa Cruz de La Palma on 23 March 1925. He died on 24 June 2013. He was appointed corresponding academician for La Palma in 1988, elected full academician in 1992, and formally admitted to the Academy on 24 April 1993.

His academic profile records a wide-ranging career: a Chemistry degree from the University of La Laguna, secondary-school teaching, founding and programming La Voz de La Palma, collaborating with and for a time directing Diario de Avisos, and serving as the first Diputado del Común of the Canary Islands. In music, the RACBA preserves a repertoire of publicly performed works, including choral, religious and stage pieces linked to La Palma celebrations.

The Canary Islands Government confirms that he received the 2002 Canary Islands Prize for Fine Arts and Performance. This version avoids unattributed landscape or identity readings of his work and keeps to biographical, academic, public and musical milestones supported by institutional sources.
