William Martinez Brito creates conceptual-based paintings with photo-realistic execution and a touch of surrealism. His artistic skills reflect his devotion to the creative process and its expression. Working mainly within the field of figurative painting, Brito’s artistic practice is characterized by a consistent exploration of new topics, the often-toxic environments that influence them, and reflections shaped by his unique perspective on life. His work engages with relevant societal themes using critical thought and analysis, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of existence through his distinctive lens. Brito graduated from Escuelas Nacionales de Arte (National Art Schoolof Cuba) “Luís Casas Romero” and Academia de las Artes (Academy of Fine Arts) “Vincentina de la Torre” in Camagüey, Cuba. Brito’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions and collective art exhibitsnationally and internationally. His donation of art for the “Pintando Together” fundraising auction (2010) at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables benefiting wounded soldiers is one example of Brito’s commitment to social engagement. Additionally, Brito participates in art shows, including Art Basel Week, the Coral Gables Gallery Walk and Art in the Breezeway, and the Schacknow Museum of Fine Art in Plantation, Florida. His artistic journey includes performance art, including the 1988 “La Campana de Toledo” in Camagüey, Cuba.
