Jonathan Sánchez Noa (b.1994, Havana, Cuba) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation, papermaking, and sculpture. He creates artworks that examine how histories of colonial extractivism have impacted notions of race, identity, and climate. He utilizes Cuban tobacco as a medium to reconstruct narratives of displacement in relation to cultural and religious significance. Through papermaking techniques, he imprints tobacco stain patterns directly into raw pulp slabs. A process informed and influenced by personal ritual, spiritual and vision interpretation of the world.

Jonathan earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Cooper Union in 2020, and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2023. He was recently a fellow at The Bronx Museum AIM Program and resident at Santa Fe Art Institute, Dieu Donné, Pratt>Forward, LMCC Arts Center, and Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts. His work has been exhibited at The Bronx Museum, NY (2024); Print Center New York, NY (2024); Sugar Hill Museum, NY (2024); Marianne Boesky Gallery, NY (2024); Voloshyn Gallery, FL (2024); Zilberman Gallery, FL (2024); Cleve Carney Museum of Art, IL (2023); The Clemente Center, NY (2022); and Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen, Denmark (2021) among others. He was the recipient of the Santa Fe Art Institute BIPOC Award (2024), Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship (2023), and Hosfeld Gift Art School Scholarship (2020).
