1901, Havana, Cuba / 1971, Havana, Cuba.

Cuban painter, sculptor, draftswoman and engraver. One of the most important representatives of the geometric abstract current and kineticism.

She began to paint in 1948, motivated by family references, by the close friendship that united her with Wifredo Lam. A year later she settled in the French capital, where she studied sculpture at the Grande Chaumiére Academy, making frequent trips to Cuba to expose her many experiences.

She returned to France and in mid-1951 she entered the workshop of abstract painters and attended a course on engraving techniques.

She was a professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Havana, and was a member of the Granma newspaper. From her aesthetic approaches arises the plastic group Espacio.

Together with the artist Pedro de Oráa, she founded the Color-Luz Gallery and, at the end of the 1950s, she joined the group Diez Pintores Concretos.

The National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba collects works by the artist.
