1\u2026 One artist.<\/em><\/strong> The artist behind today\u2019s works is Jurell Cayetano<\/strong>, who was born in Brooklyn, NY to parents of Honduran and West Indian descent. Graduating with a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Art in 2014, Cayetano uses mixed media on paper, ranging from oil paint to graphite to gouache to colored pencil.
\nThe focus of Cayetano’s body of work is to follow in the footsteps of the early 20th century painters by exploring news ways of expressing elegance and beauty. His work is about presenting the subject in the most luxurious way possible, but without relying on more conventional ideas of elegance. While he concentrates on portraiture, Cayetano finds it hard to paint individuals and spaces he has no emotional connection to, so his subjects are usually those closest to him, or people close to them.<\/p>\n
