Reina de la Sabana

José Bedia is a Cuban artist working across painting, drawing, and installation whose practice investigates spiritual traditions, particularly Santería and Palo Mayombe, alongside Indigenous American cosmologies. Born in 1959, his work synthesizes anthropological research with visual abstraction, creating layered compositions that merge symbolic systems and gestural mark-making. His engagement with non-Western knowledge systems and diasporic memory positions his work within postwar discourse on cultural hybridity and decolonial thought.
