Jean Robert Luxama

Robert Luxama, a chameleon artist of fine arts, originally from Haiti and living in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Luxama was self-taught in his early steps in Port-au-Prince, before receiving his very first artistic training at the Salesian Professional Center. Later, he attended the provincial school of fine arts in Bani, and then obtained his degree in fine arts at the National School of Visual Arts in Santo Domingo.

Robert Luxama began his artistic journey as a self-taught artist in Haiti. He created his first drawings in Port-au-Prince and then enrolled in a painting and drawing class at the Salesian Professional School on weekends. One year later, in 2003, he moved to the Dominican Republic and enrolled in the Provincial School of Fine Arts in Bany City, where he continued to create and sell his artworks to support himself while nurturing his passion. In late 2004, Luxama moved to Santo Domingo to formally begin his studies at the National School of Visual Arts (ENAV). There, he graduated with honors in 2008 and won several art prizes from the art school, the National Directorate of Fine Arts DGBA, and the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic. Now, in 2024, he is studying for a bachelor's degree in Applied Science in Applied Business Management at Brigham Young University-Idaho Online.
