ARTURO CORREA was born in Valencia, Venezuela in 1967 to parents who were medical professionals. Their debates about how decisions affect health and human behavior influenced him to make art that would offer a different way to view the world. He moved to the United States at age 21 to study art, earning an M.A in studio art from New York University, NY.
Correa is represented by Ascaso Gallery, based in Caracas and Miami. He has exhibited his work for the past 29 years, with 22 solo exhibitions in art museums, universities and art institutions throughout the United States and Venezuela. Correa’s paintings are in the permanent collection of 10 art museums in both the USA and Venezuela. He was artist-in-residence at the Singapore American School for five years and for ten years, guest lecturer and instructor in Venezuela and the United States.
