GERMAN PEREZ was born in the countryside of the Dominican Republic in 1956.
His formal creative studies began in Santo Domingo, the capital.
He is known for versatility in various mediums and for his diverse approach in capturing narrative motifs.
Perez moved to New York City in 1985 where the various influences of Pop Art and Graffitti Art found their way into the artist's modern interpretations of Taino Indian Mythology and rituals.
Perez's paintings exude vibrancy and mystery, a playful innocence and sensuality transmitted through his use of primary colors and his magical,distint compositions.
The result is a work of urban expression deeply rooted in an African-Taino-Caribbean past.
