Museum Circle members are invited to an exclusive tour of Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) collection artist Loriel Beltrán’s studio headquarters.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela and living in Miami, Florida, Beltrán creates sculptural accumulations of paint and color that defy traditional notions of artistic media. Poetically merging painting and sculpture, the artist states that his works “resist becoming images” and instead materialize color in its full complexity.

Situating his work between the legacy of Latin American modernism and postwar painting in the United States, Beltrán dissolves distinctions between image and object, surface and substance, plane and structure. While the artist considers perceptual effects, he remains equally invested in issues of materiality, process, and industry, foregrounding artistic labor and the residue it leaves behind.
