Selected exhibitions across the United States, Cuba, Brazil, and Spain — from early photographic work in Havana to recent painting in Miami.
Alongside the studio practice, Lavoy has traded professionally since 2019, focused on gold — the spot instrument XAU/USD and the GC gold futures contract. The same sessions become the raw material for his paintings.
From a 1998 debut as a child actor through leading roles in film, television drama, and national TV presenting — built on theater training at the Escuela Nacional de Arte (ENA), Havana.
Founder and director of the audiovisual production company (founded 2013, Havana). Credits include documentary and music-video work — among them Artxiomas for the Art Museum of the Americas (Washington, 2016), the short film Cuban Ingenuity for the Cade Museum (2019), and promotional and making-of films for artists and brands across Cuba and Florida.
Jorge Lavoy (b. 1988, Havana, Cuba) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Florida. He graduated from the Manuel Saumell music school as a drummer and from the Escuela Nacional de Arte (ENA) in theater. From this foundation in music and performance, Lavoy has expanded his practice to encompass painting, documentary and fine-art photography, film, television, music, mixed media, installation, and sculpture — an ongoing exploration of form and narrative across disciplines.
His parallel life as a financial trader gives the work its most distinctive thread: paintings in which a real gold session is transformed into abstract composition. It is a practice built on observation — of people, of screens, of the collective emotion that moves both audiences and markets.
