The women in Andrés Conde’s paintings are never passive subjects. They are warriors—unapologetic, strong, and unflinching—yet they remain tender, vulnerable, and profoundly human. Their eyes, rendered with masterful precision, reveal complex inner worlds: reservoirs of resilience, echoes of suffering, and glimmers of transcendence.

Andres Conde, a visual artist born in the vibrant city of Havana in 1968, embarked on an artistic odyssey shaped by displacement, political tumult, and an ever-evolving quest for creative expression. Uprooted from his Cuban roots as a child, Conde's journey traversed Havana, Madrid, New York, and eventually settled in Miami, infusing his art with a diverse spectrum of cultural influences.
