Karlos Barreiro: A Cuban Visionary in Contemporary Art

We are thrilled to introduce Karlos Barreiro, a self-taught Cuban painter who has gained recognition as one of Cuba’s most significant living contemporary artists. Known for his vibrant and evocative style, Karlos brings a unique energy to each piece he creates. His artistic journey has taken him across the globe, with his work exhibited and celebrated in international events across the Americas and Europe. His pieces resonate with art enthusiasts, with over 2,000 works sold worldwide and more than 200 in the United States alone.

Our exclusive collaboration with Karlos Barreiro includes I Am My Own Muse, a captivating contemporary piece blending iconic collage elements such as Frida Kahlo and Campbell’s Soup, rendered in a printed version on clear acrylic. This striking 42" x 54" piece is available for viewing and purchase at Lux Neon Art Gallery, along with the unframed original version for collectors seeking a direct connection to Karlos’s artistic vision.

Karlos’s partnerships with art dealers in cities like New York, New Jersey, Boston, and Miami have expanded his reach to prestigious collections, including a spot in William Van Gogh’s private collection, the director of the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. With celebrity collectors such as Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, Gina Lollobrigida, Alain Delon, and Kirk Douglas, his work has garnered international acclaim.

In 2024, Karlos will showcase his latest collection, The Power of Color, in Stockholm, Sweden, while continuing his creative journey at Nina’s Artwork and Framing in Hollywood Beach, Florida. For a deeper look at his work, follow Karlos on Instagram at @karlosbarreiro.cubanart.
