Quisqueya Henriquez talks about the idea of dispersion and assemblage and evokes the process of artistic creation. Born in Cuba and raised in the Dominican Republic, Quisqueya Henriquez sees a direct connection between her multifaceted identity and the collages she produces as an artist. She has been invited to create a series of artwork for the first Davidoff limited edition cigar boxes, which will be filled with newly developed cigars dedicated for the limited editor. The Davidoff Art Editions will be available for the first time at the Davidoff's Collectors Lounge during Art Basel Hong Kong in May 2014.

Quisqueya Henriquez (b. 1968, Havana, Cuba) works across collage, print, video, installation, and sound and provokes conventions of race, ethnicity, and gender encountered in Caribbean and Latin cultures and practiced universally. Her work focuses on stereotypes originating in corporeal notions of beauty and athleticism, perpetuated by contemporary ideals of cognitive ability, economic achievement, political power, and art history.


EXHIBITIONS AND AWARDSQuisqueya has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in Europe, the United States and Latin America with work in major public and private collections in the United States and the Dominican Republic. She is the recipient of awards from The South Florida Cultural Consortium, The Concurso de Arte E. León Jimenes and The Knight Foundation.
