Jorge Posada is a recipient of several art awards and has started at an early age as a classically trained artist. He is a painter, print-maker and sculptor whose art has evolved into a less realistic subject matter finding a new depiction of the human figure: a cross between figuration and abstraction.
He masters a mixed-media of charcoal, acrylic and oil on canvas to create his compositions by building up carefully placed transparencies of color. Posada works in series which address the human form in a dynamic and constant flux.
In recent years Posada has been dividing his time between New York, Antwerp (Belgium) and Medellin (Colombia). He has extensively been sketching directly from the masterpieces in Europe. This resulted in a new series of paintings as an homage to Peter Paul Rubens, Theodore Gericault and Claude Monet which he has started in Antwerp.
