About the Artist
Pedro Troncoso (b. 1996) is a New York–based artist whose work explores colonial erasures of identity, diaspora, and cultural memory. Rooted in his Dominican heritage, Troncoso’s paintings and drawings layer erased narratives into dreamlike spaces where blurred identities confront colonial erasure. His ongoing exploration of figure, iconography and form transcends the boundaries of drawing and painting, implementing architectural and sculptural motifs to further trouble concepts of Caribbean identity.
Troncoso was born in the Dominican Republic. He earned his BFA in Illustration at Parsons School of Design after formative studies at Altos de Chavón, La Escuela de Diseño (DR), and holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art. In 2026, he was listed on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list for Art & Style. In 2025, he was awarded the Equal Prize at the 31st National Biennial of Visual Arts at the Museum of Modern Art Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
His work has been shown at the 29th and 31st Dominican Biennials, NADA, Art Central Hong Kong, ComplexCon, and the AXA Art Prize, with additional exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Beijing. His practice has been profiled in Blanc Magazine, Whitewall, Artlyst, New American Paintings, among others.
Troncoso’s work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
