Bio
Born in Holguín, Cuba, William Osorio migrated to the United States seeking the creative and intellectual freedom unavailable in his early life. Working outside traditional academic structures, he cultivated a rigorous self-directed education and developed a mature studio practice grounded in research, experimentation, and critical inquiry. Osorio’s large-scale paintings integrate gestural figuration, vivid chromatic structures, and layered material processes, drawing from both classical painting traditions and contemporary abstraction. His work explores the psychological terrain shaped by migration, memory, identity, and the instability of living between cultures. He lives and works in Miami, where he maintains an active studio practice.
