Yoan Capote

Yoan Capote is a Cuban contemporary artist born in 1977 in Pinar del Río, Cuba, known for his conceptually rich and technically ambitious works that explore themes of collective psychology, freedom, and the human condition. His practice spans sculpture, painting, and installation, often incorporating unconventional materials such as fish hooks embedded in painted canvases to create haunting seascape imagery that metaphorically references the Cuban experience and the desire to escape. Capote has exhibited internationally at major institutions and galleries, establishing himself as one of the most significant contemporary Cuban artists working today.
