Beatriz González

Beatriz González is a Colombian artist born in 1932, recognized as one of the most important contemporary artists in Latin America. She has played a vital role in the art world since the 1960s, using her work to confront issues of social and political injustice in Colombia.

González's art is known for its use of pop art and appropriation techniques to comment on social and political issues. Her work often incorporates images from popular media, such as newspapers, magazines, and advertisements, which she then transforms into critical commentaries on Colombian society. González's work also explores the violence and brutality of Colombia's political history, particularly in relation to the country's ongoing conflict with drug cartels and guerrilla groups.
