Jorge López González

Jorge López González (Havana, 1995) is a Cuban visual artist and printmaker specializing in xylography (woodcut engraving). His artistic practice integrates traditional printmaking techniques with conceptual research, exploring the expressive potential of the carved image, texture, and visual narrative. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education, a foundation that enriches his approach by combining artistic creation with pedagogical insight and visual analysis.

As a member of Proyecto Imagen 3, he actively participates in a collaborative platform that promotes contemporary Cuban art, fostering dialogue, artistic experimentation, and collective creation. His involvement in this project has strengthened his connection to the emerging generation of Cuban artists working at the intersection of technique, concept, and cultural identity.

His work in xylography emphasizes the tactile and symbolic nature of wood as a medium, addressing themes related to memory, identity, and the poetic dimension of everyday life. Through manual engraving, he explores the materiality of printmaking, generating images that reflect both artistic tradition and contemporary sensibility.

Based in Havana, Jorge López González continues to develop his artistic career through research, teaching, and creative production, positioning himself as part of a new wave of Cuban printmakers who are revitalizing the language of xilograbado within the context of contemporary visual arts.
