Kedgar Volta was born in Cuba and studied at the Superior Institute of Design in Havana before immigrating to the United States in 2008. Since living in Florida, Volta draws inspiration from a dual cultural perspective, creating multi-media and photographic works that represent disparate lives and environments, while serving as narrative that reminds us of our common humanity. The work also reflects his understanding of art as a vehicle to bring form-shaping movement to the fragmented reality of our internal landscapes, in order to offer a sense of purpose and meaning through the prism of self. 

Volta is founder and creative director of the experience design company Castano Group. He has participated in several group and solo exhibitions, and was selected for the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art's 2014-15 exhibit State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now.
