Gloria Lorenzo’s work reflects a profound versatility of mediums and depth of expression and expound on her desire to formally capture time, emotions and reality in an effort to provide form to the intangible, to that that cannot be contained. Her sculptures have evolved from primarily enameled clay objects to larger scale pieces that incorporate wood, metal, resins and other materials. Gloria’s use of evocative organic forms draws inspiration from her love of structure, textures and process. Born in Cuba, Gloria graduated from the renowned San Alejandro Academy of Art in Havana. She quickly rose to the top of Cuba’s avant-garde exhibiting in the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Center for Design and Fine Arts and the Amelia Peláez Gallery among others. Gloria left Cuba and emigrated to the United States in 1991. That year, she was featured in two solo shows in Spain at the Mayfair Villa Franca de Penedes and Sala del Ayuntamiento of Saint Sadurni in Barcelona. In 1994, Gloria was invited to participate at the prestigious International Latin American Art Fair in Brussels and at “7 x 7: Encuentros” at the Museo Ateneo in Caracas.
