Juan Brouwer

Juan Brouwer is an abstract painter that has helped define the Cuban contemporary art scene. He has been creating over 22 years and is a graduate from the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Art. Abstraction has always been Brouwer’s main focus, both before and after his time at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts. This was mostly due to how he perceives the world, and he always knew that it was different from his contemporaries.

Being the son of the composed Leo Brouwer, and born into a musically affined family, Brouwer broke the chains of his heritage by choosing to be a painter. Defying everyone’s expectation he has become a powerhouse in the world of Cuban Abstraction. His art is an exploration of what is a turbulent life and its challenges, observed through a creative social point of view.
