Juan Araujo was born in 1971 in Caracas, Venezuela. He lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.
The research of the Venezuelan painter explores the history of Western culture and the history of art through hyperrealistic reproductions of images found in books, magazines, photographs, and online. However, the artist's work is not limited to referencing, but focuses on history, images, and their indelible permanence over time, through various modes of replication, adaptation, and dissemination.
