This is the linocut print titled Tranquila (1999) by the Cuban artist Belkis Ayó
Belkis Ayon (Cuban, 1967-1999)
The print is known for its stark, monochromatic imagery featuring a featureless, androgynous figure with empty, almond-shaped eyes.
Ayón often explored the mythology of the Abakuá, an all-male Afro-Cuban secret society, in her work, subverting the narrative through her unique visual style. The artist primarily used the printmaking technique of collography, which involves collaging materials onto a plate to create texture and depth.
