Estilo: Sacred Art

Virgen de la Caridad by Luis Avilés is a bronze sculpture depicting Cuba’s patron saint, the Virgin of Charity of El Cobre. This sacred figure holds profound cultural and spiritual significance for the Cuban diaspora, and Avilés’s interpretation brings devotional tradition into dialogue with contemporary sculptural practice. The work represents the sacred art dimension of his versatile portfolio, alongside organic and abstract pieces.

Tantra by José Enrique Valdescano explores symbolism, the human body, and spirituality through the language of bronze sculpture. Drawing on sacred and mystical traditions, the work invites viewers into a contemplative space where physical form becomes a vehicle for transcendent meaning. Created by a UNEAC member and multiple Grand Prix winner, Tantra represents the culmination of decades of rigorous sculptural practice rooted in the Cuban artistic tradition.
