Jorge Rios Morales
Born in Havana, Cuba, Jorge Rios holds a BA in Painting from the National Academy of Arts “San Alejandro.” In 2021 he earned a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Rios’ work transcends the flatness of ordinary visual language, reaching the subtlety, ambivalence, and complexity that we perceive more clearly in other art forms such as music or poetry.
