Cynthia Pareja Dubin (shown above) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the complex connection between identity, memory, and the subconscious. Influenced by her diverse cultural background and personal experiences, Pareja Dubin creates visually rich compositions that encourage viewers to reflect on the deep relationship between art, the human spirit, and the world around us. She was born in Lima, Perú.
Her artistic career started with a BA in Graphic Design from the Universidad de Palermo in Argentina. In 2021, she received the fully funded Liquitex "Just Imagine" residency, culminating in an exhibition of her work at the Manufacturers' Village in New Jersey.
Pareja Dubin's recent exhibition highlights include "Intangible Ecosystems" at the Hotel Sofitel in Philadelphia (2023), "Paisaje Interior" at Galeria West Art in Westfield (2024), and "Reappearing Treasures" at the Marité & Joe Robinson Strolling Gallery II of the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey (VACNJ) in Summit (2025). She is currently based in West Orange, NJ.
Oyster Point Gallery Exhibitions, initially conceived by President Kevin Barry and currently curated by Ellen Martin, provide a prestigious and viable alternative gallery venue to artists from New Jersey and nearby locations.
Both emerging and established artists, many of whom are award-winning, have been included in the exhibitions that are shown in the public spaces of the first two floors of the Hotel.
The work is primarily two-dimensional and encompasses painting, photography, wall-mounted sculpture, collage, and collaborative work. The Gallery is an asset to both our community and the Hotel's guests.
