Born in Havana in 1995, CB Hoyo is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the intersection of art history, personal experiences, and social commentary. Initially self-taught, Hoyo's artistic practice has evolved to incorporate a diverse range of mediums, including painting, drawing, and writing. Through his work, Hoyo challenges the conventional notions of art and authenticity while inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue with the artist and themselves. Hoyo's work is characterized by its colorful, playful nature, and its tendency to incorporate recognizable art historical references with a critical and humorous twist. His oeuvre includes the "Fakes" series, where he reinterprets famous artworks with a contemporary touch, and the "Corny Quotes" series, which features his introspective musings on life, love, and society, handwritten in his signature style. These works offer a fresh perspective on what it means to be an artist in the 21st century, and they invite viewers to reflect on their own experiences and emotions. In his art, Hoyo incorporates a rich tapestry of personal experiences, reflections, and insights, drawing inspiration from his Caribbean heritage, his struggle with dyslexia, and his observations of the world around him. By skillfully blending these elements, he creates captivating works that resonate with a wide audience, transcending cultural boundaries and offering a unique perspective on contemporary culture and identity.​Unafraid to critique the art world system he is a part of, Hoyo's work is a testament to his desire to push boundaries, question the status quo, and continually evolve as an artist. With his growing international presence and dedicated following, CB Hoyo continues to inspire others to confront the complexities of the world through creative expression.
