about the artist...
For over five decades, Agustín Gaínza has created a vibrant artistic universe where color, imagination, humor, and emotion come together in a language uniquely his own.
Born in Havana, Cuba, and based in Miami, Gaínza draws inspiration from a world without boundaries. His paintings transport us through real and imaginary cities, intimate interiors, whimsical characters, and unexpected stories where everyday life takes on a touch of magic.
Constantly exploring new ideas, Gaínza moves freely between subjects and artistic techniques, from painting and drawing to ceramics and printmaking. Havana remains at the heart of his identity, yet his imagination travels far beyond it. Today, his passion for creating continues to shape an ever-evolving body of work.
