Humberto Castro was born in Havana, Cuba, on July 9, 1957. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro and the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in Havana, Cuba.
He works in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and installations. He is one of the most active members of the group widely recognized as the “Generation of the 80s” in Cuba, which generated changes in the aesthetic and conceptual art scene of the island.
In 1983 he founded the team Hexagon, in which, alongside other artists, he mounted installations aimed at provoking public participation in the work. Between 1980 and 1984, he produced an extensive body of graphics, particularly innovating in the intaglio technique. He has designed sets for theater and film in Cuba.
In 1989 he emigrated to Paris, France, where he lived for ten years and became active in the Parisian intellectual scene, holding exhibitions and giving conferences across Europe. In 1999 he moved to the United States, where he lives and works.
