Collection: Guillo Pérez III

b. 1981, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Dominican–American)
Lives and works in Tampa, Florida, USA

Guillo Pérez III is a Dominican–American painter whose work exists at the meeting point between ancestry and invention. Born in Santo Domingo and raised in Queens, New York, Guillo grew up surrounded by color, story, and discipline —the direct heir to one of the Dominican Republic’s most respected artistic lineages. His grandfather, the master painter Guillo Pérez, and his father, also a painter, shaped the foundation of his early world. Yet from the beginning, Guillo forged a voice distinct from the generations before him.

Today, he lives and works in Tampa, Florida, where he has developed a personal artistic philosophy he calls Bauhaus Budō —a synthesis of Bauhaus design principles and the meditative rigor of martial arts. This fusion sits at the heart of his creative process: geometry as structure, intuition as movement, and color as emotional force.

Guillo’s canvases unfold like portals. Figures emerge from mythic spaces; roosters rise as protectors or omens; silhouettes blur between physical and spiritual dimensions. His work’s luminosity, rhythm, and gestural power reflect both Caribbean memory and a New York edge —a rare duality shaped by heritage and environment.

As a curator, educator, and cultural builder, Guillo has founded galleries in Miami and New York, created community programs for emerging artists, and co-founded Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery in Tampa —a space dedicated to transcendent contemporary art and world-building imagination.

His work has been exhibited across the United States and the Caribbean and is recognized for its emotional depth and architectural precision. The New York Times has referred to him as a “Star Maker”, acknowledging both his artistic output and his impact on the communities he cultivates.

For collectors, a work by Guillo Pérez III is more than a painting —it is a living legacy. His pieces hold mythic weight, generational memory, and the unmistakable energy of an artist who paints with discipline, spirit, and visionary intent.
