Comment

«I see myself as Sikán, since I am the observer, the mediator and the taleteller: I invent the images based on my studies and my experiences, since I am not a believer, and as I see her, I see myself»

Belkis Ayón, November, 1998

This necessary pause will permit update important aspects of the Contest; strengthen promotional platforms and professional and intergenerational exchange resources among the Island's engravers.

Interviews

Speaking of the myths of art

To tell the truth it wasn’t easy to interview Belkis Ayón, despite the appearances, that is to say, her youth, the recognitions her artistic work has had, her personality, that one would bet was very accessible, frank and open as her laughter. But we should not confuse such attributes with the vehemence, I would even dare say the passion, of Belkis Ayón the artist, the one that with steel blue lucidity knows about the trajectory of her work yesterday and today.

Belkis Ayón: Preamble for an Endless Trip toward the Soil

For us, weary of the crowds and sleepless nights, arriving in Alamar—the promised land—confirmed, among other things, that there was a place teeming with life, without hate or betrayals; a castle where we could exercise the greatest spiritual tranquility. Then Belkis would come with her enormous eyes of an Egyptian goddess, open the door and let us in, and nobody dared to get rid of this state of mind while we sojourned comfortably under her warm smile and contagious optimism.

I see Belkis as a mysteriously invulnerable woman, ready to offer the best spaghetti in Havana and the finest beer, to satiate the appetite, thirst and fatigue of the most demanding traveler. I see her with her kind and enthusiastic face, giving each of us a flow of affection and vitality.
