Jorge Avelino Fernandez

As a first-generation Cuban-American, Fernandez’s works and teaching explore memory, migration, and inheritance. Through his art, he translates ancestral resilience into layered visual narratives of identity, nostalgia, and belonging between past and present.

“In CDMX, I will explore the vibrant art scene and collaborate with local ceramic studios. I aim to learn traditional techniques, engage with the creative community, and draw inspiration from the city’s rich heritage for my practice and teachings.” – JAF
