Amanda Linares

Amanda Linares is a Cuban-born multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, Florida. She holds a technical degree in printmaking from San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana and a BFA in graphic design from New World School of the Arts in Miami. Linares’ work explores identity, displacement, absence, and reconnection through drawing, installation, artist book, and design. Her practice employs poetic language, engaging with narration and space through transparency, found objects, and typography. In 2024, she debuted the immersive solo exhibition Yo vengo de todas partes, y hacia todas partes voy at Piero Atchugarry Gallery and her first solo museum show, Dialogues Across Walls, at the Coral Springs Museum of Art. This year, she presented her first outdoor site-specific installation, Day Before Yesterday, at the Deering Estate. Her work has been exhibited at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Oolite Arts, Bakehouse Art Complex, The Bonnier Gallery, FAR Contemporary Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Tempus Projects in Tampa, Florida. Notably, her piece Donde Comen Dos, Comen Tres (Where Two Can Eat, Three Can Eat) was acquired by The Bass Museum in 2023 and included in their permanent collection. Linares has attended residencies at the Atlantic Center for the Arts and MASS MoCA with Oolite Arts. She is the recipient of the 2022 Ellies Creator Award and the 2023 Corral & Cathers Artist Fund Award. Currently, she is a 2025 studio resident at Oolite Arts.
