📆 June 1970

Diango Hernández Torres

Born in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, son of Caridad del Cobre Torres and Jesús Hernández. From an early age, Hernández’s paternal family relocated to the United States, while his maternal family remained in Cuba. He often refers to his childhood as having unfolded between two different worlds—a formative duality that continues to inform his thinking and artistic practice.

📆 1989 - 1994

Attended the Instituto Superior de Diseño (ISDI), Havana, Cuba.

Diango Hernández received a degree in Industrial Design, specializing in industrial machinery. During his studies at the Instituto Superior de Diseño (ISDI), he maintained a broad interest across all disciplines, with particular attention to Interior Design and visual communication.

📆 1994 - 2003

Ordo Amoris Cabinet

Hernández co-founded Ordo Amoris Cabinet (OAC) together with Ernesto Oroza. The collective was later joined by Francis Acea, Juan Bernal, and Manuel Piña. After 1996, the group was restructured and continued exclusively under Hernández and Acea until its dissolution in 2003. OAC rapidly gained international attention, enabling Hernández to travel extensively and exhibit in major art institutions worldwide. He has often described this collaborative period as a formative “school,” fundamental to his artistic education.

📆 2003 - 2026

Living in Italy, Spain and Germany

Hernández relocated to Europe in 2003, settling first in Trento, Italy. He subsequently moved to Seville, Spain, in 2004, and in 2005 established himself in Düsseldorf, Germany. These years proved fundamental to his artistic development: for the first time working independently, without the framework of a collective, he began traveling extensively and confronting a new set of experiences and challenges previously unknown to him. In 2005—only two years after his arrival in Europe—he was invited to participate in the La Biennale di Venezia, an event that marked a decisive turning point in his life and career.

📆 2026

Milan

Hernández currently works between Düsseldorf and Milan and travels frequently to Havana, where his mother resides. In 2003, while in Trento, he met Federico Luger, then a very young artist who had recently arrived in Italy from Venezuela. Over the years, Hernández maintained close contact with Luger, and this friendship gradually evolved into a highly productive collaboration after Luger opened a gallery in Milan. Hernández currently maintains his collaboration with Luger—today operating under the name Wizard Gallery—as an alternative model for the relationship between artists and galleries: one grounded more in trust and friendship than in conventional business structures.
