Juanito Guanabacoa

Juanito Guanabacoa is an artist born in Mexico in the 1950s, he lives and works in Paris.

After a long career dedicated to public service and the fight against corruption in his country, he turned fully to artistic creation and identifies as a conceptual artist: for him, the idea and the story take precedence over technique.

His work, created using mixed media on paper, now includes more than 260 pieces. Nourished by his memories, his journey of exile, and a critical reflection on society and human rights, his work has been exhibited several times in Paris, notably in group exhibitions on human rights and migration.

Guided by a dense and colorful aesthetic, Juanito Guanabacoa seeks above all to provoke a reaction in the viewer: a visual shock, a reflection, an emotion.
