Julio César Ernesto Fernandez Larraz (born March 12, 1944) is a Cuban painter, sculptor, caricaturist, and printmaker. Considered the leading Cuban-American artist and best know for his still life, landscapes and figurative works, Larraz is known for his mastery of realism.

Biography
Julio Larraz, the oldest of three children, was born in Havana, Cuba to the publisher of the newspaper. Larraz attended numerous private schools in Havana. Larraz’s father politically liberal views were severely criticized, encouraging the family to leave Cuba in 1961 for Miami, Florida. The following year, Larraz moved to Washington, D.C. and then in 1963 he moved to Martinsburg, Pennsylvania, where his parents were teaching. Moving to New York City within a year, Larraz worked odd jobs to support himself. Although he never formally studied art or painting, Larraz started painting professionally in 1967 and collaborated with several artists through the 1960’s, including Burt Silverman, David Levine and Aaron Shikler. Larraz married Scott Mills and moves to Rockleigh, New Jersey in 1969 and had daughter Saskia in 1970. The next year, Larraz had his first exhibition of works at Pyramid Galleries in Washington D.C. In 1972, his son Ariel was born and the family moved to Upper Nyack, New York. In 1976, Larraz won the Award in Art from American Academy of Arts and Letters, allowing him the opportunity to visit France and Italy for the first time. Needing a change of pace, Larraz moved to San Patricio, New Mexico for a year. In New Mexico, Larraz met Ron Hall, an art dealer from Fort Worth, sparking the beginning of a long-time partnership and friendship. He moved to Grandview, New York in 1978 and divorced Scott. Soon after, Larraz met Nohra Haime, his future New York dealer that represented him through the mid 1990’s. After becoming an American citizen in 1983, he spent the next two years in Paris, France. Larraz returned to the Hudson River Valley until moving to Miami, Florida in 1987. In 1988, Larraz married Pilar Botero, had has daughter Maia in 1990 and daughter Miranda in 1993. In 1995, Larraz exhibits with Peter Findlay Gallery and has a solo exhibition at the Tampa Museum of Art. Larraz won the award in Fine Art Excellence FACE, Facts About Cuban Exile in 1997. Galleria Guilio Tega in Milan, Italy began to represent Larraz in 1998, the same year he had an exhibition at the Boca Raton Museum. Partnering with Marlborough Gallery in 1999, within a year he had his first solo exhibition with Marlborough Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida. He moved with his family to Florence in 2000, where son Pablo was born the same year. Living and working in Florence until 2004, Larraz began working with Galleria D’Arte Contini in Italy and the partnership expanded to include Contini Art UK Gallery in London. In 2014, Ameringer, McEnery & Yohe Gallery in New York started representing Larraz. Larraz divorced Botero in 2016. He continues to live and work in Miami, Florida.

Career, Work & Style
Larraz, who was always more interested in drawing than in any other activity, was particularly impressed by the caricatures published in his parents' newspaper. At school, Larraz was often caught making drawings and sketches of students and teachers, contributing to disciplinary issues that resulted in him changing school many times. He continued to sketch and several of his illustrations were published in Cuba and by his parents newspaper, La Discusion.

In the 1960’s and 1970’s, Larraz’s political caricatures were published in many newspapers and magazines, including Esquire, Vogue, Rolling Stone, Time, the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and the New York Times, signed under the name “Julio Fernandez”. In 1972 at the New School for Social Research, Larraz had a solo show featuring his caricatures. David Levine, a contemporary illustrator and friend, introduced Larraz to FAR Gallery, which helped launch Larraz’s career as a painter.

Quitting caricatures to focus on painting full time....

In the early 1970's Larraz started producing still life paintings, or bodegones, as an method to improve his technique but quickly fell in love with the visual possibilities of the genre. Larraz has done some of his most important work in the field of still life and has benefited from the stimulus of the Spanish tradition more than any other. His work is fundamentally meditative and contemplative as that of the Spanish still life masters of the early 17th Century, such as Juan Sánchez Cotán, Juan Sanchez Cotan, Juan van der Hamen, and Francisco de Zurbarán.

Still life painting presents Larraz with an opportunity for an endless set of allusions and variations. Larraz is also interested in using the still life format to show off his virtuoso skill sin rendering both texture and color. There has always been a strong element of fantasy in Larraz's still life paintings. Larraz's renditions of fruits, vegetables, flowers and other objects are often extremely peasent to look at, but there is invaribaly something much more to them. Still life paintings make up a very large part of Larraz's total production as an artist, and looking at these still lifes is a good way of understanding his general approach to making art.

His paintings of dictators and caudillos deal with the plauged history of the Caribbean island republics, and also the history of Latin American in general. Many of Larraz's figure compositions contain an implied or oblique narrative quality.

Larraz enjoys making sketches when he is aboard a plane, giving many of his landscape paintings a bird's eye view. His landscapes are seldom literal and are often details of things near the sea.

He has produced a large number of paintings that are independent studies of clouds that have an epic feeling that gives them an extra dimension of romantic emotion. "I do cloud studies anywhere I can," Larraz has stated. These have come to form a significant category of his work. They are done in all media and in all sizes and shapes.

His paintings often contain a strong hidden narrative element. A number of Larraz's narratives are dream-like, very personal fantasies. . He often references the Caribbean as a dangerous and often slightly sinister region.

Larraz has often spoken of his admiration for Francis Bacon's extraordinary ability to combine a wide variety of emotions in his canvases portraying figures who virtually never show their faces - or whose faces are so distorted as to obscure any personality.

Of all the compositional and mood-producing elements in Larraz's work, that of the open window is one of the most pervasive. They express the artists's longing for both a place and a state of mind.

Larraz's senses of humor and irony are other important factors in his art. His work is never devoid of emotion, but the emotions are often mixed with multiple layers of meaning so as never to be obvious. The puzzling element is one of the enigmatic hallmarks of Larraz's oeuvre.

His year spent in New Mexico introduced him to a wide variety of new forms that could only be found in desert places, and these elements would appear many times in his paintings.
