About the artist:
Yamila Velázquez (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1993) is a contemporary artist who uses digital intelligence tools. She currently lives and works in Alicante, Spain. Owner and partner of a company dedicated to the sale, representation, and development of artists and artworks, Velázquez combines her business vision with a deep artistic sensitivity.
This young Cuban talent has established himself in the field of digital art, using contemporary media to explore themes related to nature, landscape, and the intimate relationship between women and their environment. His works subtly and visually powerfully address topics such as beauty, love, sensuality, and feminine delicacy, always set within immersive, romantic, and refined atmospheres.
With a vibrant and expressive aesthetic, Yamila Velázquez manages to blend classical influences with a modern language, resulting in versatile, fresh, and deeply evocative works. The pictorial texture of her images, the masterful use of color, and the emotionally balanced composition position her work as a current artistic proposal of high aesthetic value.

This work is a contemporary altarpiece of striking majesty, confronting the Western notion of fragility with unwavering aesthetic and spiritual strength. The figure, an ebony woman with her eyes closed in a state of deep introspection or ecstasy, stands as a modern embodiment of royalty and myth.

The artist has reinterpreted the principle of Kintsugi not as a repair of a physical fracture, but as the exaltation of a genetic and cultural memory. Gold not only adorns (in the sumptuous turban, metallic lips, and leaf earrings), but also infuses the skin, creating an effect of brightness emanating from the deepest part of the subject.

The background, carved with geometric motifs reminiscent of African textile and sculptural patterns, acts as a textured throne, reinforcing the narrative of an unchanging lineage. The light, dramatic and directional, transforms the face into a sacred mask, where the golden makeup around the eyes emphasizes the idea of inner vision and unwavering identity. It is a portrait that not only celebrates beauty but also embodies it in terms of historical resistance and cultural sovereignty.
My work 'Reina de Saba Reconstruida' expands the philosophy of Kintsugi beyond the broken object, applying it to the body and spirit as carriers of a profound historical memory. This portrait is a manifesto of empowerment.

The figure, adorned with precious metal, symbolizes an identity that has absorbed and transcended the fractures and wounds of history—whether personal or collective. Gold acts as a revealer of resilience, suggesting that the legacy of diaspora or the inherent struggles of existence are not elements to hide but attributes of majesty. Just as Kintsugi transforms repaired pottery into something more valuable, my goal is to show how the reconstruction of the self and the affirmation of identity become the pure gold of sovereignty. The result is a beauty that is simultaneously ancient and futuristic, whose strength lies in the acceptance of its own history.
