CB Hoyo

CB Hoyo is a contemporary artist known for his satirical and text-based works that challenge authenticity, value, and the art world itself. Born in Havana, Cuba in 1995, he is largely self-taught and began gaining attention through social media for his bold, irreverent style. Working across painting, drawing, and mixed media, Hoyo is best known for his “Fake Art” series, in which he recreates iconic works by famous artists, adding handwritten text that critiques the notion of originality and market-driven art. His work blends humour, irony, and commentary, reflecting a millennial perspective on cultural consumption and artistic legitimacy.
