Starsky Brines held his first solo exhibition in Venezuela in 2006, and has since had solo exhibitions in Spain, Columbia, and Germany. His unique artworks are included in various organizations such as China’s National Museum in Beijing, Acarigua Art Museum in Venezuela, Burger Collection in Hong Kong, and Sanders Collection in Germany and Switzerland.
Brines was raised in the small city of Maturin in Venezuela and earned a B.A degree in Painting at Higher Education Institute for Plastic Arts Armando Reveron in Caracas. His rich color and formation was developed while working as an assistant at the studio of Jesús Rafael Soto, a world renowned kinetic artist, and was also influenced by street artists.
Brines’ work illustrates the characteristics of graffiti and primitive art, which represent the conflicts of the society he was born into; Caribbean and Latin American culture being two prevalent forces in his hometown of Caracas. Brines is historically influenced by Latin American figurative art, the German Neoexpressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the COBRA group.
