About the Artist

  • JJ Gonzalez Acosta

    JJ Gonzalez Acosta

    Born and raised in Valencia, Venezuela; JJ Gonzalez Acosta has been passionate about art since he was a kid. His love for visual arts was supported by his mother and his aunt who are also visual artists. When he was only 5, JJ changed his toys to paintbrushes and paint; he created beautiful artwork at home. At this age, he was part of the “Arturo Michelena” art school where he had fun with other infants creating art. As time went by, JJ decided that he wanted to help others discover their artist within, he then decided to enroll at “Universidad De Carabobo” where he earned a Bachelor of Art in Art Education, and he started teaching art and being the Cultural Coordinator in different elementary, middle, and high schools in Valencia. His passion brought him to be the Internship Coordinator at “Universidad Alejandro De Humboldt” where he helped students find the perfect internship that aligned with their likes, needs, and most importantly their passion. JJ has kept working as a visual artist and it was not until 2017 that he decided to pursue his dreams and goals and arrived in Orlando, Florida where he lived for almost 5 years. In Orlando, JJ had an art studio and taught art to segregated communities in Central Florida while working along with the Orange County Government curating the Hispanic Heritage Month art exhibitions while working with local theaters as a costume, and scenic designer. In 2022, JJ arrived in New York City and his colorful artwork has been in different galleries around the city, has been featured on the screens in Times Square, and has had solo exhibitions in different branches of the New York Public Library. In New York, JJ created a Broadway Portraits Collection that highlights the story of those who give it all on the stage while telling stories to different audiences 8 times per week. JJ will continue teaching art and helping others discover this colorful world while helping them discover their artist within.
