Representing Jorge Luis Santos: Cuba’s Leading Abstractionist
View through Artsy
Born in Quivicán, Cuba in 1973, Jorge Luis Santos is celebrated as the nation’s foremost abstractionist. Working on a monumental scale, he creates visceral paintings, sculptures, and installations using diverse materials from acrylic to found objects. With bold, unconventional tools, from palette knives to the soles of his shoes, Santos infuses his works with raw emotion, subverting Cuba’s figurative tradition.
