Paul L. Cejas (born 1943) is a native of Cuba who arrived in Miami, Florida in 1960, is chairman and chief executive officer of PLC Investments, Inc., a wholly owned company that manages portfolio investments, and investments in real estate, health care and venture capital projects. He served as Ambassador to Belgium under U.S. President Bill Clinton. Cejas was founder, chairman and chief executive officer of CareFlorida Health Systems, Inc., the country's largest Hispanic-owned health care company, which merged with Foundation Health of California in 1994 He has previously served on the boards of the Miami Art Museum (now the Pérez Art Museum Miami), the Smithsonian Institution, and the Tate museum network’s Latin American advisory council. Cejas and his wife Trudy’s art collection started out focusing on Zero, the artist group founded by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in postwar Germany, but have also added to it work by the Argentine-Italian artist ... Lucio Fontana, which is a particular focus on their holdings. From Fontana, the couple branched out into the Italian art movement Arte Povera, buying works by the likes of Alberto Burri and Piero Manzoni. But the core of the collection has shifted to focus on art of the postwar era, from abstraction to Minimalism, and includes work by artists like Agnes Martin, Sam Francis, Robert Ryman, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Cy Twombly.
