Juan Roberto Diago

Juan Roberto Diago is a Cuban artist born in 1971 in Havana, whose work powerfully engages with issues of Afro-Cuban identity, racial memory, and the legacy of slavery. His raw, gestural paintings and mixed-media works incorporate found materials, text, and visceral imagery to explore themes of marginalization, cultural heritage, and social inequality. Diago is considered one of the most significant voices in contemporary Cuban art, recognized internationally for his unflinching examination of race and identity within the Caribbean context.
