About the Item
This oil painting shows a figure of a woman most often associated with Cuban folk life. The title of the painting may be translated as the "The Seer and Seller of Cigars," indicating the woman's dual roles as psychic and street seller. Wearing a notable combination of current and classic clothing--white leggings with red flowers, hoop earrings, and a white tunic--this dark skinned woman holds several cigars in her hand. But her gaze draws the viewer in as her large brown eyes seems to underline her "seeing" abilities. The painting is signed in the front by the artist.
Roxanna Melendez is a visual artist, who often uses Caribbean themes in her paintings. Born in Puerto Rico, she graduated with an MSW from Columbia University and studied art at Hunter College and at The Art Students League. Melendez has exhibited in Long Island, New York City, Woodstock, and the Capital District. Her bold paintings depict real life events within a personal symbolism. Melendez explores her cultural roots and her life in New York City through paintings with strong figurative and narrative elements.
