Biography

Aconcha – Singular and multidisciplinary art

French-Cuban artist born in Havana, Aconcha deploys a free and intuitive practice that crosses painting, sculpture, drawing, artist objects, travel journal, performance, and music. Inspired by the Orishas of the Yoruba pantheon, she is part of the movement of raw and singular art as well as contemporary art of the African diaspora.

Her canvases are teeming with colors and intertwined collages, populated by secret signs, such as the Deep Woman, both diurnal and nocturnal.
Through her universe, Aconcha connects the intimate and the ancestral, raw art and the sacred, inviting everyone to cross the boundary between visible and invisible and to reconnect with their own part of enchantment.
