^{About:

Welcome:

This website presents a curated collection of photographic works by Armando Zubieta.}

^{Artist Statement:}

^{Ideas, storytelling, and visual narratives shaped through light. Creating insights into photographs that connect with meaning. Grounded in design and visual arts, my work is defined by craft, structure, and emotion.}

^Intro:

Armando organizes his work into two primary categories: Projects and Collections. Projects are developed in response to specific client objectives, with clear strategic intent and defined outcomes. Collections, on the other hand, are personal bodies of work that explore themes of identity, human relationships.

Bio:

Armando is a New York–based SVP Design Director working at the intersection of Photography, Design and Fine Arts. A multidisciplinary creative that brings together conceptual thinking and refined visual execution.

His Photography work is defined by compelling portraits of people and personalities, bold visual statements, and vibrant, expressive forms. Geometry—rooted in his passion for architecture and influenced by his father, a talented architect—serves as an underlying structural framework. Sometimes explicit and sometimes subtly embedded, this structural sensibility anchors his imagery. Through attention to detail, contrast, and emotional depth, Armando creates collections that convey shared stories and lived experiences between the artwork and its viewers.

Parallel to his artistic practice, Armando has worked as a Design Director & Creative Director at leading global agencies, developing award winning campaigns for major international brands. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design and a Master of Arts (MA) in Visual Arts, with concentrations in painting, sculpture, and photography—an uncommon combination.

While pursuing his master’s degree, Armando also taught at Universidad Anáhuac, where he led courses in drawing and portfolio development. This academic experience further strengthened the uncommon combination that defines his work—uniting conceptual work, strong visual narrative, and highly refined execution.

^Resume:

Exhibitions:

Armando is based in Brooklyn, New York. In quieter moments, drawing and painting remain his most personal sources of inspiration — spaces where creating and resting exist at the same time, a kind of quiet therapy after traveling. Outside the studio, he enjoys time with family and the simple ritual of a good coffee while listening to music on vinyl.
