Pedro Albizu Campos was one of the most prominent figures of the 20th century in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
His Valor and Sacrifice for social justice, dignity, and Puerto Rican independence are among the most remarkable examples of commitment to a cause.
Albizu was much more than a political figure; he was a teacher, a visionary, and a deeply religious man who anticipated the theology of liberation.
“… enduring influence on the independence movement …”
He was and still is the conscience of Puerto Rico. Albizu’s crucial journey has had an enduring influence on the independence movement and Puerto Rican society.
We invite you to explore Albizu’s multifaceted legacy through the lens of art. Through paintings, mixed media, and digital works that reflect artistic interpretations of Albizu across various historical art movements, let’s embark on a journey through his life, achievements, and the lasting significance of his message.
“… experimenting with visual arts through photography …”
Carlos García Cintrón holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. He has been experimenting with visual arts through photography since 1979.
Self-taught, he began painting in 1996. He has participated in numerous group and seven solo exhibitions, two of which are titled ”Albizu” and ”Pedro Albizu Campos: Forty Years of Immortality,”* both at the Museum of the Americas.
One of his works was auctioned at Christie’s auction house in Paris.
His works are in collections in Puerto Rico, the United States, Europe, and South America, including a large-format work of Albizu titled ”El Apóstol,” which is part of the collection at the Salon Libertadores y Héroes Sociales de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, Ministry of the People’s Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela.
