More about Liminal:
Through the use of found objects and a variety of painting mediums, the artist approaches these threshold moments with abstraction and intention. Materials that are often discarded or forgotten are given new life, echoing the transient nature of the spaces they represent. Each piece becomes a visual meditation on flux — capturing the duality of stillness and movement, closure and anticipation. The artist’s goal is to create a quiet dialogue between the work and the viewer, prompting personal reflection on similar moments in their own lives. Rather than offering definitive meaning, the work invites interpretation and emotional engagement. In doing so, it encourages a deeper awareness of the pauses and transitions that typically go unnoticed — the spaces where transformation quietly begins. Ultimately, this body of work seeks to elevate the ordinary thresholds of life, recognizing them as rich, meaningful spaces where identity, memory, and future possibility intersect.

Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Xavier Brignoni has been a custom framer, an Educator, a decorator, and since 2008, a conceptual artist. He moved to Southwest Florida in 2000, following an opportunity to reshape and redirect his professional career. Alongside lifetime friend and visual artist David Acevedo, he co-founded DAAS Gallery in downtown Fort Myers, FL. In 2012, he co-founded the Union Artists Studios in the Alliance for the Arts campus. To this day, this is the only organized group studio space in all of SWFL. As part of the first DAAS Gallery, Brignoni collaborated to establish the Fort Myers Art Walk. More recently, the artist helped establish DAAS CO-OP Art Gallery & Gifts in 2016 and expand the Union Artist Studios in 2021. In 2017, Brignoni was recognized with a FACE Award for diversity and inclusion in the community. He has exhibited in multiple galleries in southwest Florida, and his work is part of numerous private art collections. As a conceptualist with a powerful influence on pop art, Brignoni’s work is bold and relatable. He touches on his own life and experiences to express his emotions in a variety of mediums. His favorite technique is the fine-art decoupage. Some of his latest and most renowned works belong to his “Balancing Act” (2018), “It Is What It Is” (2019), “Xperience” (2022) and the most recently “XO” (2025) Collection. With his studio space, a website, and social media, Brignoni is promising more impactful and relevant artistic works, constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries.
