Amanda Linares is a Cuban-born multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, Florida. Her multidisciplinary interests made her receive a technical degree in printmaking from San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts, Havana, Cuba, and a BFA in graphic design from New World School of the Arts, Miami, Florida. Linares’ work intimately sways between many universal issues, such as identity, displacement, absence, and reconnection through an immense variety of media from design and drawing to installation and photography. Her practice incorporates a poetic language, delving into narration and space by utilizing reflection, transparency, revelation, found objects, and typographical solutions.

Her work has been exhibited at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Zilberman Gallery, The Bonnier Gallery, Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Miami, Florida, and Tempus Projects, Tampa, Florida. Linares’ piece Donde Comen Dos, Comen Tres (Where Two Can Eat, Three Can Eat) was acquired in 2023 by The Bass Museum and included in their permanent collection. She participated in the Home + Away residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts with Oolite Arts in 2021 and the Home + Away residency at MASS MoCA with Oolite Arts in 2023. Last year, in 2023, Linares debuted a new body of work with her first solo project room show at Tunnel Projects, Miami, Florida.
