JAMA was born in Havana, Cuba in 1974. He studied geography at university, but gave
up his studies to become a writer and an artist. He had three solo shows in Cuban
galleries. JAMA left Cuba for Costa Rica in 2002 and eventually made his way to the
U.S. where he settled in Miami three years ago. His wife and child joined him in Miami
in the spring of 2006. Shortly after his arrival in Miami he began exhibiting and has had
five solo shows to date. He has quickly established an audience who responds to his
energetic work with immediacy and excitement about the possibilities they sense in the
paintings created by this gifted new artist.

Geometry is the basis for JAMA’s art, a unique symbolic language that he uses to break
down his observations of life into essential structures. Inspired by Aristotle’s order of the
universe, JAMA believes that the circle is the construct of life. From a circular form he
fuses other geometric shapes connecting them within a linear web by spontaneous strokes
of bright colors. Energy and movement flow to create his unique lively depictions of the
world he lives in. JAMA paints on any surface including canvas, fabrics, tape, furniture,
wood, hurricane shutters and more. His work has an immediacy that brings to mind
Aboriginal art, Mayan painting, Modernism, Graffiti, and Street Art.
