Harmonia Rosales: la realidad histórica a través del sincretismo religioso en The Harvest
Journal Title: Alejandría - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The Afro-Cuban American artist Harmonia Rosales focuses her artwork on the reinterpretation of Renaissance masterpieces. Specifically, her paintings question the white Eurocentrism that continues to exert abuses of power today towards minorities since colonial times. The goal of this study is to evidence the religious syncretism between the Christian and Yoruba religions present in the artwork The Harvest, created by Rosales in 2018. In it, the artist presents a black woman as the protagonist, pointing out the abuses exercised by Western men through the imposition of the Christian religion in America. In the same way, she also questions the canon of beauty that this belief expansion established, proposing a diverse idea of holiness, beauty, and power linked to the black feminist movement.
