Bio Born in Cuba, William Osorio migrated to the United States seeking creative and intellectual freedom, embracing becoming a self-taught artist. William’s large-scale paintings often feature vivid color compositions evoking the classical tradition of painting as well as gestural abstract language, and textiles to a more intuitive and gestural approach to the canvas with a focus on the application of oil paint in successive layers to create a deeply textured effect.
