SORRY I’M A LADY

Nov 28 – Dec 31, 2025

A film by Jonathan Gonzalez featuring the paintings of Anna Vickers
On view November 28 – December 31, 2025
1212 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach

The Galbut Institute is pleased to present Sorry I’m A Lady, a film directed by Jonathan Gonzalez, with architecture and environments by Gonzalez and featuring the paintings of Anna Vickers. The film will be presented on the monumental, publicly facing video screen at the retail and cultural hub 1212 Lincoln Road on Miami Beach. The screen occupies the south façade of the building at the intersection of Alton Road and 16th Street, one of the city’s most active urban junctions. Sorry I’m A Lady will be shown exclusively on the screen from November 28 through December 31, 2025.

The title of the film is borrowed from Vickers’ seminal exhibition Sorry I’m A Lady, which took place at the Pavillon Davioud in Paris’s Jardin du Luxembourg in 2017— itself borrowing the title from the 1970s pop duet Baccara. The film features a broad selection of Vickers’ works made between 2004 and 2017.

The setting of the film is an idealized virtual museum digitally constructed by Gonzalez through close examination of Vickers’ paintings interrogating the female nude and its critique. This virtual museum is defined by immaculate minimalist architecture and immense, luminous galleries, forming the perfect embodiment of the contemporary art museum.

Perfection is also embedded in the historical category of the female nude—often interpreted by contemporary art institutions through the lens of critique. By exclusively displaying Vickers’ paintings of the nude in multiple corollaries with the film’s idealized galleries, Gonzalez brings institutional critique into focus. The critique of the nude melts into the critique of the institution, just as the paintings melt into their surrounding spaces as Gonzalez fades the camera from one gallery to the next.

Strikingly, institutional critique is inverted. Instead of using an art object that displaces the nude as a cipher for critique, Vickers’ reframed nudes become the catalyst for it. Rather than moving the art object outside the institution, Gonzalez reinstalls it within museum walls in exquisite display. And instead of closing off the institution—or leaving it behind when critique enters the public realm—Gonzalez brings the entire institution with him. Neither the art object nor the institution is dismantled; instead, both are depicted in states of curated perfection in direct interaction with the streets below.

This inversion is extended through a study of the grid—a motif recurring across the work’s architecture and display. The poured-in-place concrete wall supporting the 1212 Lincoln screen, the screen’s 1,500 LED modules, the curtain-wall glazing, the sawtooth roofs, and the gentle grate-like shadows falling diagonally across the figures all echo the rectilinear order of the modernist grid. These elements loosen the formal logic of the grid as a symbol of painting’s self-referential endgame through their dialogue with the pictorial forms of Vickers’ paintings. They draw attention to the self-referential nature of her figures, revealing new possibilities for painting through the most emblematic subject once displaced by the grid: the nude. The dazzling Miami Beach sun pours across the video screen, literally shedding light on this point.

The exterior landscaping expands these ideas. Zen gardens of fine sand contain bare, leafless trees—both upright and fallen. They suggest the cyclical nature of life, a theme core to Vickers’ exploration of new possibilities for the female nude after its “death” in postmodernism, and a way of thinking about a reborn, reframed art object presented on a gallery wall where both object and wall are publicly visible as a form of institutional critique.

Sorry I’m A Lady is produced by OOAI, with creative input from Anna Vickers and Michael J. Quiñones.

Woody De Othello: coming forth by day

Exhibition Reimagines Domestic Forms
As Vessels of Ancestral Memory and Sacred Introspection

—On View Throughout Miami Art Week—

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is thrilled to present artist Woody De Othello‘s first museum solo exhibition in his hometown, coming forth by day, on view throughout Miami Art Week, until June 28, 2026. The exhibition showcases an entirely new body of work featuring hand-built sculptures, mosaic wall works, and a large-scale bronze sculpture. In exploring the primordial relationship between body, earth, and spirit, the immersive installation incorporates grounding materials such as clay-painted walls and subtle herbal scents.

“Recognizing the artist’s personal ties to Miami, we are particularly delighted to host Woody De Othello’s first significant museum presentation and to share his striking sensibility with our audiences near and far,” said Franklin Sirmans, Sandra and Tony Tamer Director at PAMM. “The artist’s work is a powerful reminder of how organic materials in the present can have a deep resonance with vernacular and folk cultures throughout the world in different eras of time.”

Known for his distinctive anthropomorphic forms, Othello’s practice is rooted in animating the inanimate and infusing everyday domestic objects—such as fans, faucets, phones, and televisions—with emotional and spiritual charge. These assemblages and vessels are playful—often sprouting spindly legs, elongated arms, and outsized ears—yet also take on a quiet vitality, appearing to lean, rest, and embrace as if shaped by the weight of memory and emotion.

coming forth by day marks an evolution in Othello’s practice, deepening his engagement with diasporic spiritual traditions and metaphysical symbolism. The exhibition’s title references the ancient Egyptian funerary text “Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Coming Forth by Day”—a guide for the soul’s passage through the afterlife. Othello invokes this mythology as a metaphor for transformation and renewal, constructing a sacred space of introspection, bridging the mundane with the spiritual, the earthly with the divine. 

At the emotional apex of the exhibition stands a large-scale bronze sculpture of two embracing figures. Towering yet tender, the figures’ exaggerated proportions suggest the gravity of grief, longing, or surrender. one becomes two, two becomes one (2025) creates a culminating moment of communion and invites viewers into spaces of protection and collective emotional experience.

Surrounding the central sculpture, the gallery walls are painted in clay-colored hues and dotted with a constellation of wall-mounted ceramics and vibrantly glazed mosaics. These two-dimensional tableaux—framed in intricately carved wood—draw from Othello’s intuitive drawings, a medium he has embraced with great focus in recent years.

Across the gallery stands one of the show’s most striking elements: a freestanding wooden pyramid structure fitted with shelves that hold crystals, incense, and ceramic objects created by Othello. This altar-like installation channels a wide range of diasporic cosmologies, from Egyptian funerary architecture to Afro-Caribbean rituals and New Age mysticism. This culmination of works invites contemplation and conjures a liminal space between life, death, and rebirth—spiritual concepts that are deeply embedded in Othello’s sculptural vocabulary. Informed by his Haitian heritage and a deep engagement with African spiritual traditions, Othello treats clay not only as a medium but as a vessel for memory, breath, and becoming. His practice acknowledges the material’s ceremonial roots and positions each object as an agent of spiritual presence.

Presented with deep intentionality, coming forth by day offers more than an exhibition. It is an invitation into a space of quiet transformation and communion, where the ordinary becomes sacred, the familiar becomes metaphysical, and the act of looking becomes a form of care.  

“Woody’s return to Miami for his first major solo exhibition is profoundly meaningful,” said PAMM Curator Jennifer Inacio. “coming forth by day transforms the gallery into a space of spiritual presence—where clay, bronze, and wood carry palpable emotional weight, and viewers are invited to slow down, reflect, and experience the sacred in the everyday. More than a presentation of objects, I hope visitors experience this exhibition as a ritual space where tenderness is honored, the material becomes metaphysical, and transformation quietly unfolds.” 

Woody De Othello: coming forth by day is organized by Jennifer Inacio, PAMM Curator, with the support of Fabiana A. Sotillo, Curatorial Assistant. The exhibition is presented with lead support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and supporting sponsorship from Simi Ahuja and Kumar Mahadeva, and Goldman Sachs. Additional support from Wagner Foundation, Leslie and Greg Ferrero, and Rona and Jeff Citrin is gratefully acknowledged.

Following its debut at PAMM, the exhibition will travel to the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis in the fall of 2026.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2025: Where the Pulse of the Americas Meets the World Stage

The 23rd edition unites 283 leading galleries from 43 countries, foregrounding the voices, histories, and innovations that define the American art scene today — within a truly global conversation.

Art Basel Miami Beach returns to the Miami Beach Convention Center this December, platforming the most vital artistic currents of the Americas and beyond. Now in its 23rd edition, the fair presents 283 galleries, including 49 first-time participants, affirming its position as the premier meeting point for Modern and contemporary art in the Western Hemisphere. The show runs December 4–7, 2025, with Preview Days on December 3–4, and its Global Lead Partner is UBS. Tickets are available at artbasel.com/miami-beach/buy-tickets. 

“Art Basel Miami Beach stands at the intersection of culture and the market — a platform where artistic vision and economic energy converge to define what comes next,” said Bridget Finn, Director, Art Basel Miami Beach. “Each edition responds to the urgency and ambition of its moment while laying groundwork for the future. In 2025, we bring together exceptional galleries, artists, and patrons in an environment defined by rigor, exchange, and possibility.” 

As the premier fair of the Americas, Art Basel Miami Beach offers a panoramic view of the region’s artistic production within a global framework, underscoring the dialogue between North and South America and their shared histories of migration, innovation, and cultural cross-pollination — in conversation with Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. This year’s edition highlights Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic practices and re-examines Modernism through a trans-hemispheric lens, from mid-century masters to contemporary voices remapping the canon. 

“The 2025 edition foregrounds the multiplicity of American art — not as a single narrative but as a constellation of perspectives,” said Vincenzo de Bellis, Chief Artistic Officer and Global Director of Fairs, Art Basel. “From Indigenous modernisms to emergent diasporic practices and digital forms, the fair traces how artists throughout the Americas continue to reshape global artistic imagination.”

Across its core sectors — Galleries, Positions, Nova, and Survey — the fair presents Modern and contemporary work of the highest caliber, reflecting an expanded commitment to curatorial depth, geographic breadth, and historical rediscovery. Meridians returns as the curatorial epicenter under Yasmil Raymond with the theme The Shape of Time, and a revitalized Conversations program brings artists, collectors, and thinkers together for three days of live debate and visionary exchange — opening with a full day devoted to art and sport with celebrated athletes and featuring the return of daily Digital Dialogues. 

Curated by Eli Scheinman, Art Basel’s Zero 10 debuts in Miami Beach as a new platform for art of the digital era, before expanding to select Art Basel fairs in 2026. Presented with the support of OpenSea, the initiative connects leading and next-generation artists, studios, galleries, and digital innovators with Art Basel’s global curatorial and market ecosystem. Featuring 12 international exhibitors in its inaugural edition, Zero 10 establishes a new benchmark for how digital art is exhibited, contextualized, and collected today. 

The edition also marks the U.S. premiere of the Art Basel Awards, presented in partnership with BOSS, and the unveiling of the inaugural Gold Awards on Thursday, December 4. Honoring 11 outstanding practitioners and institutions across visual art and adjacent creative fields, the Awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and collaboration within the global contemporary art ecosystem. Conceived as a platform for creative achievement and cross-disciplinary dialogue, the initiative reflects Art Basel’s commitment to championing visionary figures shaping the future of art and culture. 

Alongside these initiatives, a constellation of partnerships across fashion, design, technology, and hospitality underscores Art Basel’s role as a catalyst for artistic discovery and collaboration — strengthening the cross-disciplinary networks that sustain and propel the world’s most dynamic art market. 

In 2025, Art Basel Miami Beach articulates a vision of the Americas as a living laboratory of creative dialogue — a place where histories are re-examined, boundaries blurred, and new voices rise to meet the future. It is an edition defined by ambition, depth, and renewal — a snapshot of art’s ever-shifting shape in our time.

Untitled Art, Miami Beach 2025 Champions a Collaborative Art Market

The 2025 edition introduces a fresh approach and new programming with a focus on Community, Collaboration, and Artist-Led Projects

Miami Beach, FL — November 12, 2025 – Returning to the sands of Miami Beach for its 14th edition – and following a standout inaugural presentation in Houston earlier this year – Untitled Art unveils its 2025 program, reaffirming its position as the leading fair dedicated to community and collaboration. Guided by its mission to evolve the art fair model, the 2025 edition introduces a reimagined format under the direction of Executive Director Clara Andrade Pereira and guest curators Petra Cortright, Allison Glenn, and Jonny Tanna with Harlesden High Street, featuring focused artist presentations, Special Projects, an expanded Nest sector and a new section dedicated to non-profits, and intentional new partnerships. These initiatives build on the fair’s commitment to accessibility and community engagement within the contemporary art market. Challenging conventions in the art fair experience, Untitled Art continues to bridge artistic integrity, curatorial rigor, and collector insight through progressive programming.

This year’s Special Projects sector, guest-curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director-at-Large of The Shepherd in Detroit and Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, presents art as a resonant cultural experience. This sector welcomes site-specific installations and ambitious projects across the fair and throughout the city. Offering a dynamic approach, inviting exhibitors, organizations, and artists to activate presentations beyond their booths, the sector features eighteen projects for its largest presentation to date. Glenn explores the theme of water as both metaphor and material – its fluidity, fragility, and power as a simultaneous site of connection and crisis. Set against Miami Beach’s shoreline, the sector transforms Untitled Art’s iconic oceanfront tent into an urgent conversation about climate, bodies, and industry. “Untitled Art Special Projects presents an opportunity to engage with artists’ practices as they relate to global waterways, which is one of the guiding frameworks of my current curatorial research,” states Glenn. “The fair’s location on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in proximity to the Caribbean Archipelago and Gulf of Mexico provides an ideal setting for many of the dialogues being presented.” Glenn’s Special Projects sector will also prioritize women-led galleries and organizations, including Other Plans Gallery (New Orleans, LA), JO-HS (Mexico City, MX / New York, NY), and Tulsa Artist Fellowship and Central Standard (Tulsa, OK), and the residency and non-profit incubator Buffalo Prescott (Detroit, MI), underscoring Untitled Art’s dedication to amplifying new and underrepresented voices.

Highlight presentations in the sector include Los Angeles-based artist Cameron Harvey, presented by also woman-led Official Welcome (Los Angeles, CA), featuring a new body of work that reimagines painting through organic form and material. Moving her entire body across unstretched, shaped canvases, Harvey’s paintings consider the limits of her form. Inspired by flora observed and gathered on long walks in Southern California, Harvey sees her paintings as protective bodies that hold space for the viewer to contemplate their own relationship to the present moment, their physical body, and their similarities to other forms in nature. Her Miami debut is significant, as Glenn will also be including a new commission of her work at the highly anticipated Toronto Biennial of Art, opening September 26, 2026.

Additionally, Tiff Massey, representing Tiff Massey Studios (Detroit, MI), will present a new sculptural installation in which Massey reimagines Belle Isle—Detroit’s historic island park—as a sculptural sanctuary that honors the emotional and ancestral gravity of water. Titled Belle Island, the presentation complements Massey’s work currently on view as part of DETROIT SALON at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, a group exhibition of Detroit-based artists. Continuing his exploration of water as both inspiration and medium, Leonel Vásquez’s installation, presented by Casa Hoffmann (Bogotá, CO), centers on sound – amplifying the voices of aquatic landscapes degraded by climate change, industrialization, and armed conflict by paying tribute to rivers that now fall silent. This work builds upon his presentation currently on view as part of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo.

For the first time, the Special Projects sector will extend beyond South Beach, activating Miami’s mainland through a series of large-scale public digital installations presented in partnership with Orange Barrel Media. Through its IKE Smart City platform, Orange Barrel Media will promote Untitled Art, Miami Beach 2025 across its network of digital kiosks throughout Greater Miami and beyond, bringing the curatorial vision of the fair’s Special Projects section into the public sphere. The program features new works by Cristina Molina (presented by Other Plans Gallery, New Orleans, LA), whose practice examines the waterways of the American South, and Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta) (presented by Tulsa Artist Fellowship and Central Standard, Tulsa, OK), whose work interprets the Lakota understanding of the Milky Way as Wakpá Iyóžaŋžaŋ—a river of light that carries loved ones across the sky.

Additional highlights across the sector include a large-scale installation at the entrance of the fair, developed by artist collective Celeste, supported by JO-HS (Mexico City, MX / New York, NY), exploring the cosmos flower’s ability to migrate naturally, following the cycles of water, and Carlos Rolón’s ongoing series of embroidered tarpaulins utilizing salvaged tarps once employed for post-hurricane shelter as a motif of resilience and cultural pride, presented by HEXTON Gallery (Aspen, CO). Meanwhile, Detroit-native Scott Hocking’s work presented by Library Street Collective (Detroit, MI), is created and sourced from a former WWII-era marina in Detroit, forming a layered response to water’s roles in shaping the physical landscapes and histories of labor and ecological transformation. A large-scale, outdoor installation of work from this series is currently on view at The Shepherd in Detroit. Also presenting sculpture, Hugo Blomley’s work’s polished surfaces evoke mechanical and industrial forms while mottled pigments take on an organic appearance; his Special Project is presented by Neon Parc (Melbourne, AU).

The Nest sector, reimagined as a section this year and guest-curated by Jonny Tanna, founder and director of Harlesden High Street and co-founder of Minor Attractions in London, reflects Untitled Art’s dedication to collaboration, supporting emerging voices and fostering greater experimentation. The new Artist Spotlight sector, dedicated to solo presentations and curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright, amplifies artistic practices that are often underrepresented in art fairs, focusing on digital culture and outsider art. The fair has also launched a new sector for Non-Profit organizations, providing a platform for these spaces within the art fair context while highlighting the role they play in advancing artists’ careers.

Strategic alliances include a new partnership with The Agency Art House, led by real estate expert Mauricio Umansky and distinguished art advisor Arushi Kapoor. The fair launches an advisor-led walkthrough program designed to empower and educate a new wave of art collectors. This initiative reflects a shared commitment to making the art fair experience more meaningful, accessible, and inspiring for a new generation of collectors. Daily guided walkthroughs led by senior art advisors will introduce guests to key presentations, market insights, and acquisition strategies, remaining attuned to shifts in the art market, particularly the growing strength of the mid-range sector.

Returning for its sixth year, The Untitled Art Podcast takes center stage with a series of live, thought-provoking conversations recorded on-site. This season brings together an exceptional lineup of voices shaping today’s art world, exploring the intersections of culture, environment, innovation, and community. Panelists include Annie Armstrong (Artnet News), Benjamin Godsill (Nota Bene), Tim Schneider (The Grey Market), Dennis Scholl (Collector & Artist), John Abodeely (Oolite Arts), Amy Galpin (Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College), Leyden Rodríguez-Casanova (Dimensions Variable), Katharina McCarthy (Eighth House Residency), alongside artists Cameron Harvey, Cristina Molina, Celeste, Diana Eusebio, gallerists Chris Sharp (Chris Sharp Gallery), Olga Temnikova (Temnikova & Kasela), Louis Chapple (Studio/Chapple), Bolanle Tajudeen (Bolanle Contemporary), and more.

Building on this dynamic program, Thursday, December 4 from 2–6pm will feature a special activation at the Untitled Art Podcast Lounge with Josh Baer, Art Advisor, Founder of The Baer Faxt, and host of The Baer Faxt Podcast. In an open, drop-in format, Baer will host a live edition of his popular “A.S.K.” (Access Sophisticated Knowledge) segment, inviting new and aspiring collectors to pose their most pressing questions about art collecting, from the fundamentals to the more complex nuances of the market.

“Untitled Art has always been a place where the established meets the new,” says Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director of Untitled Art. “Our 2025 programming in Miami Beach continues to expand that vision, pairing rigorous curatorial thinking with a deep dedication to art, community, and emerging talent. This year’s programming reflects an evolving stage for Untitled Art: cultivating a marketplace platform with curatorial intent, creating new opportunities for our galleries and artists through our expansion into a new market, and positioning ourselves as an art fair that drives innovation rather than follows trends.”

Five artist-centric prizes will be awarded, reflecting Untitled Art’s commitment to supporting artists by connecting exhibitors and creators with leading residencies and resources: the newly established Eighth House Residency Prize, offering a two-week summer 2026 residency in Vermont with private studio accommodations, meals, travel, and materials stipend; alongside returning prize partners including the Last Resort Artist Retreat Residency, providing a four-week restorative residency in Baltimore with housing, chef-prepared meals, wellness programming, travel, and a stipend for artists of African descent in the Americas and Carribean; and the CCA Andratx Artist-in-Residence Prize, offering a one-month residency in May 2026 at the renowned CCA Andratx in Mallorca, Spain, including studio space, accommodation, and travel support for the selected artist. The Miami-based Fountainhead Residency Artist Prize was awarded to Mira Dayal (presented by Spencer Brownstone Gallery, New York, NY) for a month-long residency in November 2025 with studio space, professional development, and career-enhancing resources. The fair will also offer a Best Digital Booth Prize supported by Arcual, the fair’s Technology and Innovation Partner, with further details to be shared in the coming weeks.

Johan Galué: la verdad de su imaginario a través de personajes flotantes

Johan Galué: la verdad de su imaginario a través de personajes flotantes

Johan Galué: la verdad de su imaginario a través de personajes flotantes
Las inspiraciones de Johan Galué nacen de un territorio profundamente emocional, íntimo y simbólico. Según lo que ha expresado en sus propias palabras durante entrevistas y reflexiones, estas son algunas de las fuentes clave que nutren su obra.

A lo largo de 32 años dedicados intensamente a la creación artística, Johan Galué ha recorrido una travesía única en la que la sinceridad, el orden interno y la belleza de la sencillez han dado forma a una obra poderosa. Su trazo (tanto del lápiz como del pincel) es firme pero no autoritario; revela más de lo que impone. En la última década, Galué se ha dedicado a pintar a tiempo completo sin rebuscamientos ni sutilezas, ha apostado por una práctica artística plena y honesta, sin artificios ni rebuscamientos nos da una mirada de sus personajes que se insertan en contextos difusos en los que subsisten suspendidos, revelando al espectador que no siempre lo evidente existe en lo real tal como lo podemos ver y apreciar.

Sus personajes, suspendidos en atmósferas etéreas, nos transportan a escenarios donde lo irreal se fusiona con lo íntimo, lo vivido. En esta conversación, el artista zuliano nos lleva desde sus primeras inquietudes hasta la vibración emocional que hoy habita en su obra más reciente.

¿Cómo descubriste tu vocación por el arte?

Fue una inquietud interna que tomó forma cuando tenía 12 años, al visitar la casa de mi tía Milagro Carrizo. Su padre, Rufino Carrizo, me mostró un retrato hecho por él y fue como si algo en mí hiciera clic. No sabía nada de arte, pero supe que quería aprender eso. Él me explicó con humildad cómo trabajaba con cuadrículas, de manera empírica. Tomé ese consejo con gratitud, y empecé a dibujar sin parar. Con los años fui notando que tenía una destreza, una necesidad de seguir ese camino.

¿Qué papel jugó tu familia en este proceso?

Mi mamá fue mi primer marchante de arte. Ella vendía productos y, sin que nadie se lo pidiera, llevaba paisajes que yo había pintado en óleo. Se los mostraba a sus clientes como quien muestra un tesoro. A veces los vendía, y eso me ayudaba a comprar materiales. Ese respaldo fue crucial. Me reafirmaba que lo que yo hacía tenía valor, aunque entonces no lo entendiera del todo.

Sabemos que fuiste funcionario de la policía mientras estudiabas arte. ¿Cómo viviste esa etapa?

Fue una decisión difícil. Estaba en segundo semestre de la Facultad de Arte de la Universidad del Zulia cuando, por la situación económica y la salud de mi madre, decidí ingresar en la Policía del Estado Zulia. A pesar de lo contrastante, nunca dejé de dibujar. Incluso durante el curso policial, retrataba a mis compañeros y profesores. Eso me generó ingresos y me dio la posibilidad de seguir apoyando a mi madre mientras mantenía vivo mi impulso creativo. Estuve 15 años en la institución, llevando en paralelo mis estudios y mi obra, sin desviarme de lo que siempre quise ser: artista.

¿Cómo ha evolucionado tu obra a lo largo de los años?

Mi obra ha pasado por tres grandes etapas. La primera, de 2004 a 2011, fue un periodo centrado en el dibujo académico, donde reinaba la figuración pura y técnica. Luego, entre 2011 y 2016, comencé la transición a explorar más la pintura, en donde el dibujo convive con una explosión de color y texturas. Desde 2017 hasta hoy, mi trabajo ha madurado hacia una propuesta más personal, donde el color toma el mando y mis personajes ya no provienen del mundo visible, sino de mi imaginario. En ese momento comienzo a identificar una nueva gama de posibilidades creativas, permitiendo que mis personajes adquieran una identidad propia definida por mi visión. Reconozco que no es necesario buscar influencias externas para su desarrollo, sino que pueden surgir genuinamente de mi imaginación y de mi manera particular de representar la realidad, consolidando así un discurso plástico propio. A partir de este punto, mi obra adquiere mayor solidez y se orienta hacia nuevos horizontes, en los que me siento cada vez más cómodo y abierto al descubrimiento de múltiples oportunidades dentro de mi proceso creativo.

Hay una estética más introspectiva, una narrativa propia y me interesa que cada personaje tenga un espíritu propio, ya no busco representar lo que se ve, sino lo que resuena dentro, lo que surja desde mi imaginación. En este periodo mi relación con el color se volvió más íntima, más emocional. Las escenas ya no están delimitadas por la lógica del espacio real, sino por atmósferas ambiguas donde mis personajes flotan, sobreviven y significan. Considero que, como artista, es fundamental mantener una constante búsqueda de autoconocimiento y conexión con la propia obra. Es importante superar los temores y trascender los límites, explorando el vasto mundo de la imaginación, que concibo como ilimitado. Este proceso implica sumergirse en un universo donde es posible descubrir innumerables posibilidades.

¿Quién ha sido clave en tu mirada artística?

José Ramón Sánchez. No me enseñó a pintar: me enseñó a pensar. Conversar con él me
abrió la mente a otros enfoques, a interpretar el arte más allá de la técnica. Me hablaba de
sus vivencias en Europa, de su forma de ver el mundo, y eso se sembró en mí como una
semilla de cambio. Hoy, cada vez que me encierro en el taller, su voz sigue presente, como
un eco.

¿Cuál ha sido el punto de inflexión en tu carrera reciente?

En 2017 conocí al coleccionista y galerista de arte Agop Tarsinian, después de haber oído hablar de mi trabajo, se puso en contacto conmigo para solicitar una muestra de mis obras a través del teléfono; al día siguiente me visitó y adquirió nueve piezas. A partir de ahí, se creó una conexión con mi trabajo que marcó un giro en mi obra pues a través de su ayuda mi trabajo comenzó a circular internacionalmente, como fue mi individual en Nueva York con la galería estadounidense Unix Gallery en New York, un espacio donde nunca imaginé llegar a exponer, pero más allá de lo geográfico, lo importante para mí como artista plástico es sentir que mi pintura conecta con público de cualquier cultura y que ella, mi obra, encuentra su lugar.

“Pinto para mantenerme fiel a quien fui de niño. Ese que dibujaba sin saber de técnicas, pero con la urgencia de decir algo verdadero. En el fondo, esa urgencia sigue ahí, todos los días, con cada trazo.”

El de más allá.

El de más allá.
El de más allá.

El de más allá.

Soy una mente insertada a un cuerpo que responde a mi mando. Hago de él lo que me satisface, aun vaya en contra de mí mismo. Puedo destruirlo con mis hábitos y hasta hacer que me suicide.

Todo lo tengo controlado y a mi servicio. Solo tengo que cuidarme yo, de mí mismo, ya que a veces suelo pensar sin entender lo que pienso. Es como si dentro de mí hubiese “otro” que intenta descubrirse.

Uno que me pregunta cosas que no sé responder y que me incita a pensar en los imposibles de la vida. Como si él quisiera decirme “la verdad” pero no logro escucharlo.

No sé si “ese” soy yo o “algo” más allá de mí. Como si “en verdad” ese es realmente el que es y yo, un farsante ocupando el lugar de otro…

Ese “otro”, sospecho que sabe cosas vedadas a mí y que si me las revela, dejaría de ser lo que pienso que soy. Pero además, hay “otro”, es decir, un tercero con el que sí puedo “razonar” y tomar “decisiones”.

Ese tercero es “discernitud”, digamos, con el que discuto si perdono o no, si odio o amo, si me gusta o no. En esta “trilogía” de seres se debaten temas que no siempre se resuelven. Y nos dejan, a los tres, resignados a no insistir, ya que el cuerpo es quien más reciente los golpes.

Podemos destruirlo solo con los pensamientos y llevarlo al borde de la locura, descontrolando todas sus facultades motoras y demás sentidos que lo componen.

Si continuamos con “esta disputa” de “definir” quién tiene la razón de los tres, podríamos terminar todos ahogados y ocupando un cuerpo enfermo e inservible.

Yo, quien soy el “más cuerdo” de todos, y quien además “controla realmente” al cuerpo, he optado por “fluir” sin cuestionar nada ni hacerle caso al del “más allá”, porque ese solo “insinúa” sin decir nada y el otro, el que “discierne”, es tan temeroso que no me deja vivir…

¿Se imaginan ustedes que entre ellos dos se la pasan discutiendo sobre “el sentido de la vida”, uno que especula y el que en verdad sabe, es mudo, aunque intenta, telepáticamente, “aclararlo todo”?

Yo no puedo vivir, el poco tiempo que se me ha dado, poniéndole atención a estos “yos” que viven en mí y posiblemente de mí. Me intentan distraer de esta dimensión terrena, que de paso acarrea un montón de vainas más y uno como un equilibrista sorteándolo todo.

No me interesa saber nada, ni razonar, ni pensar, ni descubrir. Porque si me dicen que yo no soy yo, ni el que discierne, ni el del más allá, ¿qué gano con eso? 

¿Acaso usted ganaría algo si descubre que usted no es usted, ni el otro tampoco, ni su mujer, ni sus hijos, ni nadie? Que todo es una simulación y que “el sentido” del sinsentido tiene “razón”…

Amigo, mi recomendación final ante estos desvaríos es que se vuelva vagabundo, o sea, como dicen los dominicanos, ¡se me importa to! No le dé mente ni se ponga a escuchar a “esos dos individuos” que ocupan su mente.

Enfóquese en ser simple y viva cada día como si fuera el último, sin cohibirse de nada ni aguantarle M a nadie. Total, al final se va a morir y seguramente el “del más allá” se hará cargo del asunto, pero mientras tanto, ¡usted es el que manda aquí! Así los otros dos le digan lo contrario. ¡Salud! Mínimo Allanero.

The 2025 featured exhibition, At the Edge of Entanglement, explores how emerging and established African American artists navigate, resist, and reimagine the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and systemic oppression through decolonial aesthetics.

WHERE: Opa-locka Arts District & Ten North Group Campus, centered at 675 Ali Baba Avenue, Opa-locka, FL.

WHEN: December 3–6, 2025.

Positioned where historical rupture meets radical invention, At the Edge of Entanglement features painting, sculpture, installation, digital media, and performance—drawing on the ideas of Saidiya Hartman, Christina Sharpe, Sylvia Wynter, Fred Moten, and Tina Campt to frame Black artistic practice as both witness and architect of liberated futures. Refusing easy resolution, the exhibition invites audiences to dwell in dissonance, confront the tensions of history, and imagine what lies beyond its shadow.

All exhibitions are free and open to the public.
