Angel Otero

Angel Otero is a Puerto Rican-born, New York-based artist known for his innovative 'oil skin' technique, in which he paints on glass and peels away the dried paint to create richly textured, collaged compositions. His work bridges abstraction and figuration, drawing on personal memory, domestic imagery, and art historical references to explore themes of identity, loss, and transformation. Otero has exhibited internationally and is represented by Lehmann Maupin, establishing himself as a significant voice in contemporary painting.
