Alejandro Pineiro Bello

Alejandro Piñeiro Bello (b. 1990, Havana, Cuba) is a rising figure in contemporary painting whose work bridges abstraction and figuration with a distinctly lyrical sensibility. Educated in both Cuba and the United States, he has developed a practice rooted in the textures of memory, cultural heritage, and the natural environment. Working predominantly with oil on linen, Piñeiro Bello employs a gestural yet highly considered approach to brushwork, creating layered surfaces where color, form, and rhythm converge. His compositions often feel suspended between representation and dream, transforming everyday references—landscapes, flora, or fragments of lived experience—into painterly meditations that are both personal and universal.

His career has gained momentum in recent years, with exhibitions that highlight his role within a new generation of Cuban artists whose voices extend across international contexts. Collectors and institutions alike have been drawn to the immediacy of his technique and the depth of atmosphere that characterizes his canvases. Whether working on intimate formats or larger scales, Piñeiro Bello’s paintings invite slow looking, rewarding the viewer with subtle details and shifting emotional registers. In this way, his oeuvre positions him as an artist deeply attuned to the transformative potential of painting today.
