Jorge Pardo
Cuban-American
Born 1963
Lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico
Jorge Pardo is a Cuban-born artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, design, and architecture. Based in Los Angeles, Pardo transforms everyday objects into dynamic artworks using industrial materials such as wood, steel, and glass. Pardo’s practice explores how familiar forms — lamps, furniture, and interiors — can serve as both functional objects and conceptual statements. Exhibited internationally, Pardo’s work is celebrated for its vibrant use of color, meticulous craftsmanship, and ability to merge form with function, redefining the role of art in everyday life.

Painted PETG plastic, stainless steel, light fixture, light
68.5 × 49 × 49 cm; 27 × 19 1/4 × 19 1/4 in
This lamp is quite typical of Pardo’s interest in the intersection between contemporary painting, design, sculpture, and architecture: how they are different and how they overlap. Here, Pardo is inspired by the colors of the Caribbean and represents the forms of jellyfish.
