Joshua Valbuena

Joshua Valbuena is an Aruban artist whose surrealist, vividly colored work blends mixed techniques. Drawn to a wide range of themes and stories, he looks past what already exists to explore what could be, using the imagination as his true subject.

He has drawn for as long as he can remember. Raised on cartoons, he began writing and illustrating his own comic books at nine, and that playful, narrative spirit still runs through his work today.
