This article explores the main keys in the development of the Santo Domingo-based Cuban artist Quisqueya Henríquez. Her approach to neo-minimalism, her conception of spaces and form, are illustrated through some of her specific works. The writer, Laura Gil, also explores the relationship Henríquez establishes with everyday objects in order to arrive at concepts such as fragmentation, often broached by the artist.
