Belkis Ayón and Carlos Alfonzo: Odyssey
The visual languages developed by Belkis Ayón (b. 1967, Havana, Cuba–d. 1999, Havana, Cuba) and Carlos Alfonzo (b. 1950, Havana, Cuba–d. 1991, Miami, USA) are rich with layered meaning and symbolic depth. Both artists approach image-making with confidence and conviction. While their visual styles are markedly different, Ayón and Alfonzo are connected through their engagement with historical mythologies and complex spiritual traditions. Their work is driven by raw, expressive storytelling—each composition unfolding as an ongoing journey rather than a fixed narrative.
We Carry Our Homes With Us
As life unfolds each day, memories of the past, emotional ties to places and people, and spiritual resonance percolate in seemingly mundane experiences. In many instances, varied elements of daily life like music, textiles, soap, candy, and the earth itself can hold powerful meanings. How do we carry our ideas about home with us? Home for some is certain, for others it remains fluid. In either case, the notions of home stay omnipresent.
