José Ángel Vincench is a conceptual artist who works in the language of abstraction. His paintings look like pure geometry; underneath, they carry the social, religious and political life of Cuba — words broken down into shapes and laid in gold.

He trained at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana (1997). His work has been shown at the Havana Biennial (2003, 2012, 2019), the Liverpool Biennial, the Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana, with solo exhibitions in New York, Miami, Zurich, Calgary and Guadalajara.

It is held in the collections of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, CIFO, the Jorge M. Pérez Collection, the Pizzuti Collection, the Frost Art Museum at FIU and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Havana.
