Artist
Zilia Sánchez
Born in Havana, 1926 and lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Primarily recognized for her shaped canvases, Zilia Sánchez’s work is marked by her unique approach to formal abstraction achieved by the use of undulating silhouettes, stretching canvas over hand-molded wooden armatures and painting them with acrylic. Over her 65-year career, Sánchez deals in her artistic practice with the theme of duality: the feminine and the masculine, the painterly and the sculptural, the personal and the universal, the exterior body and the interior self.
