Belkis Ayón - "Tranquila?" (1999) Story and Significance: I was mesmerized by Belkis Ayón's story when I first learned about her during a trip to Cuba in 2015. A young, beautiful, well-loved artist at the top of her game, Ayón produced an exceptional body of work based on the Afro-Cuban religious fraternity of Abakua, which traditionally excluded women. Her mysterious and powerful prints have garnered international acclaim, with exhibitions in major cities such as Havana, New York, and Berlin. They are held in prominent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, in Los Angeles. This piece, "Tranquila?", is a testament to her legacy and artistic prowess. I hope it finds a passionate collector who appreciates its historical and cultural significance as much as I do.
