Eduardo Sarmiento - Cuba

By LatAm ARTE

Eduardo Sarmiento is a contemporary Cuban artist known for his vibrant and surreal style that merges pop culture with political and emotional symbolism. Born in Cuba, he developed an early passion for drawing and design, later studying at the Instituto Superior de Diseño in Havana. His works often explore themes of identity, freedom, and the contradictions of modern society, expressed through bold colors, exaggerated figures, and dreamlike compositions. Sarmiento’s art combines influences from Latin American graphic traditions and global contemporary illustration. After moving to the United States, his work gained international attention in exhibitions and publications across North America, Europe, and Latin America. He has collaborated with major cultural institutions and illustrated for well-known magazines. His visual language blends humor, critique, and imagination in a distinctly Cuban spirit. Sarmiento’s pieces are recognized for their emotional energy and their ability to question authority and culture through visual storytelling. Today, he continues to create paintings, digital art, and prints that reflect both his heritage and his global perspective as an artist.
