Jorge

Mariño Brito

is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work delves into themes of gender, sexuality, and otherness.

Primarily focusing on oil painting and papermaking, Jorge continuously pushes the boundaries of his practice by integrating various techniques while remaining anchored to the fundamental theme of the human condition. His background in psychiatry informs his artistic perspective, allowing him to draw upon experiences in Latin American communities and to navigate the complexities of diverse cultures while creating safe spaces for exploration.

Jorge's large-scale works employ abstraction, glazes, and impasto to challenge conventional portraiture, inviting viewers to engage with the tactile qualities of the surface and extending the inquiry beyond mere representation.
