1965, Havana, Cuba

Angel Delgado is one of the most important artists of the Generation of the 80s and 90s in Cuba. In 1984 he graduated from the San Alejandro National School of Fine Arts and studied from 1984 to 1986 at the Higher Institute of Art in Havana.

Angel's work revolves around one point: the freedom of the individual or the lack of it, his work is fundamentally based on the limitations, restrictions, prohibitions, controls and lack of freedoms that are imposed on the human being within the society.

In 1990, Delgado created a performance entitled Hope is the last thing that is being lost, in the collective exhibition the Sculptured Object, at the Center for the Development of Visual Arts. This artistic realization took him to prison, where he spent 6 months in prison; experience that marked his life and his work.

In 2005, he left Cuba and decided to stay permanently in Mexico City, where he lived until 2013 when he decided to emigrate to the US.

Important works by the artist are part of the collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, Cuba.

He currently lives and works in the United States of America.
