Ana Mercedes Hoyos

The significance of her pictorial proposals, the independence in her language and an inextinguishable creative capability explain the outstanding place Ana Mercedes Hoyos (1942) occupies in the current Colombian and Latin American art arena. The book is a collection of very special moments within her work, particularly her daring reinterpretation of still nature, from the perspective of the trays of fresh fruit that the women from Palenque, an African American enclave, sell on the beaches of Cartagena, in the Colombian Caribbean coast.
