About

Yunia Lores was born on January 8, 1977 in Guantánamo, Cuba. In 1994 she began her studies at the Professional School of Fine Arts “El Alba” at the city of Holguín. In 1997 she graduated with the Expo-Performance “The mamas Twist” and in the following years she did numerous performances including, “Misses Grapes”, “Hitler in my bathtub” and “Princesses do not exist”. She immigrated to The United States in 2001 where she currently lives and works. The new artwork reflects her astounding abilities with the traditional oil paint media. The figuration tell us about her particular feeling for classical painting style and at the same time it diverts us towards a contemporary vision expressed through the intensity of colors, dark shadows, strange textures and overloaded compositions that characterize her own emotional and psychological state.
