About the Author

Andres Valencia (b. 2011) is a California-based contemporary artist known for large, dramatic, colorful figurative paintings that are deeply influenced by Cubism. Valencia stands on a step ladder to create large-scale works with wildly imaginative fragmented facial compositions using a mix of oil stick, oil, and acrylic paint. His artwork has been exhibited and sold around the world, and he is the youngest artist to have his own booth at Art Miami and the youngest to sell art at a major auction house.
