The Artist
Cuban-Born · Based in San Antonio, Texas
An innovative and bold voice in contemporary art — whose eclectic, daring work has earned him a distinguished place in collections, galleries, and international recognition at the highest level.
One of the most defining moments in Yosan's career came when his painting was selected to grace the cover of "Hey Hey Rise Up" — a new song by David Gilmour, legendary guitarist of Pink Floyd.
The song, dedicated to the people of Ukraine, brought Yosan's work to a global audience — reaching millions of listeners and collectors worldwide, and cementing his reputation as a truly international artistic voice.
"Art can carry a message that transcends language, borders, and time."
— Yosan Leon Mirabet
