Jacobo Borges (born 28 November 1931 in Caracas, Venezuela) is a contemporary, neo-figurative Latin- American artist.
His curiosity for exploring different mediums made him a painter, drawer, film director, stage designer and plastic artist.
Known for his ever-evolving style, there is one constant principle that unites his work: "the search for the creation of space somewhere between dreams and reality where everything has happened, happens, and may happen." His theoretical approach and unique, innovative technique has won him acclaim all over the world.
He has had solo exhibitions in France, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Britain and the United States.
Today, he is considered one of the most accomplished artist of Latin America.
His oeuvre includes a rich body of paintings, a film directed in 1969, and a book The Great Mountain and Its Era, published in 1979.
In 1982, a biography by Dore Ashton, called Jacobo Borges, was published in English and Spanish.
Jacobo Borges resides in New York City and Caracas, Venezuela.
He has a wife, Diana and three children, a daughter named Ximena and two sons, one named Ezequiel and other Emiliano.
