Trujillo - Contemporary Visual Artist

About the artist

Trujillo (Cuba, 1976) is a contemporary visual artist with three decades of uninterrupted exploration between figuration and gestural abstraction. Educated in Fine Arts in Havana and holding a Master's degree in Artistic Heritage Management, Museums, and the Art Market (Santiago de Compostela, 2022), his career combines rigorous technical mastery with a profound conceptual and institutional dimension. During his years of professional development in Cuba, he balanced his studio practice with university teaching as a Painting professor at the Faculty of Visual Arts of the University of the Arts (ISA) in Havana, contributing to the training of new generations of artists.

Based in Pontevedra, Spain, his work captures the complex visual dialogue between human movement and urban spaces. Throughout his career, his painting has dynamically transitioned from pure figuration toward formal deconstruction and gestural abstraction. His technical command is defined by his expressive use of acrylics and watercolor techniques: high-texture impastos, delicate glazes, and powerful gestural strokes that evoke emotional and architectural weight.

His work has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions in Spain and Cuba. Among his international recognitions, the Certificate of Artistic Merit at the Luxembourg Art Prize, awarded by the Pinacothèque of Luxembourg, stands out. Currently, his pieces are part of contemporary art foundations and private collections in more than ten countries, consolidating his position as a mature and expanding voice in the international abstraction scene.
