Zaida del Río (1954 Las Villas) is a woman artist, a tireless, fervent exponent of Cuban fine arts, and defender of femininity mostly via her poetry. She gets her inspiration in her most profound desires for an equitable world in balance with Mother Nature. Dancing figures, in which femininity is a principle element, navigate through dissimilar worlds and universes. The skill and grace of her brush take over her shapes of religiousness and hedonism that become melded into one.
Zaida is a Cuban painter who has gained a deserved spotlight among recognized Cuban contemporary artists.
