About the Artist:
Víctor Vázquez (Puerto Rico, 1950) is a photographer, object and installation artist, video artist, and educator. He earned a bachelors degree in psychology and sociology at the University of Puerto Rico before completing a masters in education at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He began doctoral studies in comparative religions and traveled to India, China, and Japan. Vázquez developed an interest in photography, studying with Jan Jurásek and attending the School of Visual Arts in New York and the Maine Photographic Workshop.
His work tackles challenging themes such as illness, syncretism, race, desire, colonization, and migration. Víctor Vázquez incorporates emulsions, oil, wax, and other objects into his photographic creations, objectifying and spatializing photography in his artistic practice.
We look forward to seeing you there!
