Angel Delgado is a Cuban visual artist who lives in Long Beach, California.

Delgado studied at the Elementary School of Visual Arts of Havana, between 1976 and 1980. He graduated from the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes "San Alejandro" in 1984 and studied from 1984 to 1986 at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana. The work of Angel Delgado, goes around a point: the freedom of the individual or the lack of this, his artwork is based fundamentally on the limitations, restrictions, prohibitions, controls and lack of freedoms that are imposed on the human being within the society. In May 1990, Delgado created a performance titled "La esperanza es lo último que se está perdiendo" in the group exhibition "El Objeto Esculturado[1]" at Centro de Desarrollo de Artes Visuales, that led to the prison, where he spent six months of deprivation of freedom, this experience marked his life and his work. In 2005, he left Cuba and decided to stay permanently in Mexico City. He lived there until 2013, when he decided to immigrate to the United States. Delgado currently lives and works in Long Beach, CA.
