Gabriel Cruz Bio
Gabriel Cruz is a Spanish artist based in Brooklyn. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Madrid before moving to New York in 2009 where he found enormous creative energy. Fueled and inspired by the life of the city around him, he has developed an extensive body of work here.
A combination of the real and the imagined, Cruz's paintings take on a dreamlike quality, with colors, shapes and perspective filtered through memory and experience. Colorful and expressive, these works provide a mosaic kaleidoscope vision of the artists Urban experience.
Alongside these large format works Cruz develops a playful series of watercolor and graphite animal portraits. These imagined subjects are lightheartedly rendered revealing the artist's sense of humor and his affinity with wildlife.

University Complutense Madrid, Superior Study, Fine Arts (incomplete) 2000
“Spanish Without Borders” Casa de Espana , New York 2010
