William Osorio is a Miami-based artist who was born in Cuba in 1989. Osorio initiated his studies at the School of Fine Arts in his city of Holguin later choosing to pursue his dreams by emigrating to the US. In the States, Osorio embraced becoming a self-taught artist, leading to a key factor in the spontaneity of his work. My artistic practice consists of a game of concealment and revelation of the subject; in an attempt to analyze human behavior. The human figure as a pictorial element becomes an unavoidable reference. In my body of work, there is a permanent reference of literature, which serves as support and inspiration before, during, and after the creative process. I start from philosophical thoughts that I try to connect with visual resources, appropriated from the environment, the socio-political, and art history. The intention of my work as an artist lies in the invitation to the question, not the finding of the answer. To the analysis of what appears not to need it. I support the use of traditional materials to represent a traditional genre (portrait) in a non-traditional way. With my work, I try to investigate the complexities of the human condition and in the absurd, the tragic and the divine that composes it.”
