- Pablo Marcano García (born January 15, 1952 in Gurabo, Puerto Rico), is a Puerto Rican artist. He holds a bachelor's degree in social science (cum laude) from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. In 1975 he completed all his partial requirements for obtaining his Master's and Doctorate, simultaneously, in Political Science at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In January 1985, his book The Criminality and Crisis of Prisons in Puerto Rico was published, which has been used by prominent sociologists, criminologists, and jurists in the country's universities. At the age of 30, under the tutelage of one of our best graphic artists, Carlos Irizarry, he started in drawing and painting. He also receives guidance from African-American artists Jamil (Bryson Harris) and Rashid Wright. In recent years, Marcano García founded, in union with Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Danny Rivera, the International Institute of Fine Arts and Music. This novel pedagogical project is inclusive and itinerant in nature, and grants scholarships to talented and resource-poor Latin American youth to study in the field of fine arts and music. Outstanding art critics from the Caribbean region consider the work of Marcano García as exceptional. Currently, important private and public collections, in and out of Puerto Rico contain pieces by this artist. In 2009, together with the young artist Rosana Vázquez Medina and Nelson Díaz, he developed his concept of community art (Caribbean Renaissance, Cafetal Urbano, Humacao Vive el Color, Sol Naciente) with which he achieves a living work of great color and enormous emotional impact. He was a Resident Artist of the University of Turabo, an institution with which he collaborated in these last decades. Prominent art critics from the Caribbean region consider Marcano García's work to be exceptional. Currently important private and public collections inside and outside Puerto Rico contain pieces by this artist. (en)
