José Bedia — El precio
José Bedia

El precio

1993

A dynamic composition rendered in gouache and ink on paper, El precio showcases José Bedia's signature visual language rooted in Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions and indigenous cosmologies. Bold, graphic linework defines powerful figures and symbolic imagery that speak to themes of exchange, sacrifice, and the unseen forces that govern human existence. The stark interplay of color and ink reinforces the weight of the work's central question about the true cost of spiritual and earthly transactions.
