About The Artwork
“... Labañino's canvases, inordinately horizontal or vertical, insinuate a delinquent gaze, as if the scene were being framed by a slit in a window or jarred door. His focus is on the point of view more than on what is seen and how it might be interpreted. The dimensions evoke a sense that there is a lot more to the scene than meets the canvas. At the heart of his mysterious works is the sense of a subversive imagination copping a forbidden view, witnessing what others ignore. His brushstrokes and color strategies underscore this Manichean turmoil—bold simplicity fighting it out with darkness, contemplation wrestling with the lust for action.” — Ricardo Pau-Llosa excerpt from “Sérverus” catalogue, 2013

United States
Alvaro Labañino was born in 1989 in Miami, Florida, son of a working-class family. His father, a self-employed handyman, is from Santiago de Cuba, Cuba and immigrated to the United States soon after Fidel Castro's takeover of the island nation. His mother, a self-employed housekeeper, is from La Lima, Honduras and immigrated to the United States in search of a life better than in poverty-stricken, crime-ridden Honduras. Labañino was raised in Little Havana, one of Miami's most historic neighborhoods, as well as one of its most impoverished, but opportunely attended South Miami Senior High Magnet School of the Arts' magnet program for Fine Art, graduating in 2008. He then attended Miami Dade College—the first in his family to go to college—and thereafter went on to earn his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (majoring in Painting, with a minor in Art History) cum laude from Florida International University in 2012. He currently lives and works in Miami, Florida.
