This collection Cantos de Resistencia (Chants of Resistance) is a homage to my heritage, to the men and women who were uprooted from Africa, and taken captive to the Caribbean, creating the cultural and racial melting pot that is Cuba today. I paint their resistance and courage, their indomitable will to fight injustice and their journeys. The sepias, yellows and greens colours I used in this collection evoke strength and resilience and elicit the solidity that comes from the earth.
