Cafetera II | 8" x 16" | mixed media on birch with gold + silver leaf
A love poem to women in my Cuban family : hand on hips and offering life, wisdom, + inspiration on a daily basis.
These cafeteras have been in my sketchbook for years and it’s been bliss to carve them out of silver & gold leaf on birch with copper rivets that are the pearls of the paintings.
I see them as expressions of family + culture and agents of inspiration.
