Carlos Gamez de Francisco

Cuban born artist Carlos Gamez de Fransisco is a painter, sculptor, photographer and filmmaker who is interested in history and storytelling in his work. His paintings are both figurative and imaginative, opulent and dreamy, and they make reference to fashion illustration, the decorative arts, as well as antiquity. Gamez de Fransisco uses a Baroque aesthetic with a sense of contemporary fashion to create portraits that blend historical references with a modern painterly approach. His work has been collected by the Evansville Museum, 21C Museum, the Fashion Resource Center at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cuba Ocho Museum and Performing Arts Center, Polanco’s Collection in Havana, Cuba and Louisville’s Metro Hall.
