About the Artist:

Perez Perez is a Puerto Rican visual artist of the new generation of contemporary artists from Puerto Rico. He is also best known for his live and colorful paintings and detailed engravings inspired by his Caribbean roots.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Perez Perez grew up surrounded by paradisiac landscapings, vivid colors, music, folklore, and an incredibly vibrant Puerto Rican culture.

Perez Perez's unique painting work is shaped by his studies in Painting at the prestigious School of Plastic Arts of Puerto Rico where he had the opportunity to work under the close tutelage of international recognized Puerto Rican artists such as Elizam Escobar, Luis Felipe López, Eric French, Edgard Rodríguez Luiggi and Awilda Sterling just to name a few. In his years of academic formation, he excelled in painting, engraving and small format sculpture.

Although he constantly experiments with different media and techniques, he works mostly with oil and acrylic, resulting in the creation of abstract expressionist paintings about nature, humans identity, conflict and the relationship between the Inner World and Outer World.

With various art exhibitions ranging from Puerto Rico, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania, Perez is now currently expanding his career nationally and internationally.

Since 2017 Perez Perez is part of the Puerto Rican diaspora. He lives in Tampa, Florida where he moved after the devastation caused by the Hurricane Maria and is currently working to showcase his new collection titled "PANDEMIA".
