Miguel Ángel Couret
"Art is the reflection of reality, interpreted by an enlightened being"

Miguel Ángel Couret

1964. Pinar del Rio, Cuba

Painter, Engraver, and Draftsman

Miguel Ángel Couret Hernández’s practice encompasses painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, and mixed media, developing a visual language in which observation of Cuban reality intersects with symbolism, irony, and imagination. Drawing occupies a fundamental place within his work, providing the structural foundation for compositions that frequently move between the recognizable and the fantastical.

His figures and narrative situations often inhabit unstable or ambiguous environments, where balance, tension, uncertainty, and transformation become recurring ideas. Through these images, Couret approaches individual and collective experience without seeking literal representation, using metaphor and visual contradiction to open spaces for reflection on contemporary life.

Across different bodies of work, everyday references are transformed through expressive distortion, collage, and symbolic association. This combination allows Couret to construct an imagery that remains connected to Cuban social and cultural experience while extending beyond the local toward broader questions of vulnerability, resilience, identity, and the human condition.

BIOGRAPHY

Miguel Ángel Couret Hernández (b. 1964, Pinar del Río, Cuba) is a Cuban painter, draftsman, and printmaker whose career has developed across painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, and mixed media. He graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in Havana in 1988, specializing in printmaking, and is a member of the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC).

Since the late 1980s, Couret has maintained an active artistic practice through solo and group exhibitions in Cuba and internationally. His work has been presented in numerous exhibitions and cultural projects, while his participation in national and international printmaking events reflects the importance of graphic arts within his formation and broader practice.

Throughout his career, Couret has received recognition in provincial and national exhibitions and competitions, including an award at Cuba’s VIII National Printmaking Salon in 2016. His work is represented in private collections in Cuba, the United States, Spain, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and other international contexts.

Working independently across multiple media, Couret has developed a body of work in which the discipline of drawing and printmaking provides a foundation for continued experimentation with painting, collage, and mixed media. His sustained engagement with Cuban cultural experience and the expressive possibilities of the image has defined a career spanning more than three decades.
