Jorge Posada 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. He works in series which address the human form in a dynamic and constant flux.
