The Artist Profile Archive: Angel Otero

Artist Angel Otero tells us about his work in his own words.

Born in 1981 in Santurce, Puerto Rico, and growing up in Bayamon, Otero was raised primarily by his grandmother. His recollections of Puerto Rico, growing up with his grandmother, the colors of the island, and items from his childhood home, such as lace, iron gates, and dried flowers, are infused into his paintings, imbuing them with the physical components of memory and identity.

Otero was interviewed in 2019 for this profile, in his Bushwick, Brooklyn studio and footage from his Milagros exhibition at Lehmann Maupin from the same year is featured.
