Andres Valencia

Andres Valencia (b. 2011) is a California-based contemporary artist known for large, dramatic, colorful figurative paintings that are deeply influenced by cubism. Valencia has been painting since he was five years old. He creates large-scale works with a mix of oil pastel and acrylic paint, seeking to pair bold colors with wildly imaginative fragmented facial compositions. Surrounded by art at home, Valencia is inspired by Pablo Picasso, George Condo, and Amedeo Modigliani. At the age of ten, he became the youngest artist in history to have his own booth at Art Miami, where his works on display quickly sold out.
