Santeria

The painting Santeria, an acrylic on canvas, depicts a Cuban woman wrapped in an atmosphere full of history and meaning. His intense and penetrating gaze captures attention, inviting the observer to immerse themselves in the depth of his expression. The performance expresses the strength and mystery of a culture rooted in Cuban tradition.

Santeria is a cult, a philosophy, a complex mixture that has its roots in the era of slavery. Through archaic rituals, including elements of dark practices, it has become an integral part of Cuban culture. The woman's eyes are thoughtful, enigmatic and hypnotic, and seem to go beyond the canvas, telling a story of contrasts between shadow and light, tradition and transformation. The work invites us to reflect on how the past and its rituals leave indelible marks on the cultural identity of a people.
