About the Artist
Growing up in Cuba, Carlos Gamez de Francisco quickly fell in love with making art. He attended both fine art and visual art school, where he received the opportunity to study with famed Cuban artist Cosme Proenza. His formal training included comprehensive knowledge of visual arts, dance, music, wardrobe and performance arts. As an artist, Carlos represents social and historical issues that affect humans; reactions because of their social, economic, geographic, and political environment. Over the last 5 years, Carlos;s art has been exhibited in several states, and internationally in Cuba, Luxembourg, Italy, and Spain, as well as at art shows such as Art Palm Beach, Art Hamptons and Scope Miami. Fun fact: Because of Carlos;s support of the arts community in Louisville, where he now lives, Mayor Greg Fischer gave him the key to the city.

Carlos Gamez de Francisco
Carlos Gamez de Francisco was born in post-revolutionary Cuba in 1987 in a climate of art censorship and limited access to information. He was educated in an academic style heavily influenced by the Russian Academy. This influence and the history of Cuba itself, are the lens through which Francisco creates quasi-historic portraits, narratives and an illusory world. Francisco understood that decontextualizing epochs and artistic symbols are tools that establish a connection between the present and the past. His works explore themes of power, hierarchy, perfection and beauty, repetition, decoration and obscene abundance. His images often depict a sense of happiness and well-being which in turn, insinuates a nonexistent time. Thus, themes and specific figures are examples of distorted reality illustrating his perceptions about life. Francisco focuses on modifying historical periods, fashion, images and contexts using insects, whether realistically represented or not, as imaginary elements recreating new contexts. Mainly, he recreates experiences and memories by superimposing and manipulating historical figures and events. Finally, understanding beauty in its various forms is the motivation for experimenting with non-conventional materials. Francisco’s general approach is to demystify classical beauty and present it as a natural process and in its natural form.
