About Jorge

Gerada is recognized internationally for creating his work in urban spaces on a large scale, sometimes so large that it can be seen from space and photographed by satellites.

He has become renowned for utilizing walls, land and streets as canvases and citizens as models to create powerful works around the world.

Born in Cuba and raised in the United States, Jorge began his career in the early 90s as a founding member of New York's Culture Jamming Movement.

Since then he has perfected his artistic directions as a muralist, sculptor and land artist.

He has created a series of important large-scale works, including his portrait in Queens, New York, memorializing the late Dr. Decoo, a Latino pediatrician who lost his life after battling the pandemic in New York City.

He also created a large-scale land art portrait that gives homage to the diversity of the United States that was created next to the White House in Washington D.C., among many others.
