Jorge Camacho , born the January 5th 1934 with Havana, is a painter Cuba in.
In 1952, it gives up its studies of right to devote itself entirely to painting. In Mexico, in 1959, it meets the painter Jose Luis Cuevas and together they undertake a long voyage to the sources of the Maya culture.
Camacho arrives in to Paris in 1959, where it finds his friend the sculptor Agustin Cardenas. In 1961, it will meet the poet André Breton. It integrates the surrealist group very quickly. “That which traps”, as indicated it Breton in 1964, will remain faithful to its first engagements.
Its pictorial space approaches tortured worlds, where the esotericism more sophisticated côtoie a surprising shamanism. Beyond these marks, the tables of Jorge Camacho express a poetic universe, under the refined lighting of a fawn-coloured pallet.
Writing, photography, music - it is in love with the jazz and Flamenco - just like its passion of ornithology are decisive supplements with its work of painter. Jorge Camacho lives and works between Paris and Andalusia since 1975.
