José Bedia — Cota nkunia con su maña
José Bedia

Cota nkunia con su maña

A commanding figure rendered in José Bedia's signature bold, graphic style dominates the composition, merging Afro-Cuban spiritual iconography with raw, expressive linework. The work reflects Bedia's deep engagement with Palo Monte religious traditions, depicting a powerful spiritual entity alongside symbolic attributes that speak to forces of nature and ritual. Executed in oil on fabric laid on linen, the piece carries a ceremonial weight, its earthy tones and stark contrasts evoking both ancestral presence and the elemental energy central to the artist's practice.
