Aquiles has obsessively favoured scrap material from the bodywork of old cars or containers of the most varied types to make small walking human figures, or perfectly flattened squares grouped according to an impeccable arrangement. He has not abandoned canvas, however, using a combination of techniques to produce an abstract work where graffiti connotes the emotional impact in the direction that the artist is interested in.
Belkis Ayón
(1967_1999)
An engraver of unanimously acknowledged technical virtuosity, Belkis Ayón drew from collographs their fullest potential in works in which the theme of Abakuá mythology, its secrets, its mysteries, its ritual ceremonies and, above all, her “cursed" woman, recur over and over again, to encourage a reflection on the recognition of ethnic and gender identification and warn of the evident or surreptitious attempt to weaken them or manipulate them.
