Jorge Gumier Maier was an artist, a performer, a connoisseur of art history, an actor who sometimes also created the scenery for his show. He produced paintings, collages, drawings where the influence of surrealism, metaphysical painting and the forms of neo-figuration can be seen.
He was active in the Gay Action Group (GAG) whose journalistic organ was the magazine Sodoma from where his political positions were raised and taboo topics until then were made visible.
