Nicole Mouriño (b. 1987, MIA) is a Cuban-American artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She received an M.F.A. in Social Practice from Queens College ('16) and B.F.A. in Painting from Pratt Institute ('11). Her practice involves photographing windows (eg. Bodegas, Botanicas, and Peluquerias) throughout NYC. These images become the compositional source for large-scale paintings depicting crashing/merging understandings of identity, economics, desire, and beauty.
Mouriño's work has been exhibited at Untitled Miami, Pulse Miami, BRIC, and the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts - among others. Most recently, Nicole presented Mama Dukes at Peep in Philadelphia (2024).
