Juan Alemañy-Oliver
Juan Alemañy-Oliver was raised in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Juan was mentored
by his maternal grandfather, who was a sugarcane plantation chemist (both in
Puerto Rico and Cuba) and a tobacco grower in Puerto Rico, where he owned a
hand-rolled cigar business.
Juan expresses the love of his Latin culture
through these paintings; art has been his passion since childhood. Juan's
depictions of cigars, rums, and wine are indicative of his personal
upbringing and serve to preserve memories from his childhood, as well as
the not so distant past.
