Julio Antonio Perez

Born in Havana, Cuba in 1950, Perez studied at the Superior Institute of the Arts and the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts. Havana, Cuba.

"My work is a battle between the conscious and the subconscious; between the inconclusive and the defined; between the satirical and the tragic; between the poetic and the dramatic. It ranges from neo-expressionism to surrealism from raw art to a more sophisticated one, using the metaphor and symbol as basic tools of my artistic language. My work is the combination of all of these elements with an added thought of personal magic."
