Belkis Ayón Manso (January 23, 1967 – September 11, 1999) was a Cuban artist and lithographer[1]. Her work was based on Afro-Cuban religion, combining the myth of Sikan and the traditions of the Abakuá, a men's secret society, though her work was often thought to reflect her personal issues as well.[2] Her work began exhibition in 1988, and exhibitions continued until at least 2006[3]. The artist committed suicide at the age of 32.
Since her death, the Cuban government has declared her work a patrimony, and so none of it is currently allowed to leave the country.[4]
