Yunaika is an emerging Caribbean painter based in Mexico City. She recently obtained her MFA at San Alejandro National Academy of the fine arts.

Yunaika is a very versatile artist. She likes to experiment with materials and techniques. Her themes and subjects range from abstraction to those inspired by her social sensibility. She is fascinated by movies, and also likes to depict marine environments and motifs.

The series of paintings Reflexiones del Desarraigo (Reflections in Exile) consists of several neatly balanced compositions of astounding frugality and elegance. She utilizes diluted oil pigments for subtle color hues and firm traces of charcoal pencil for contrast.

In a recent series of paintings, Yunaika represents the human body as an expression of the soul. The bodies are reduced to neat silhouettes, which seem immersed in silence. The figures achieve peace by turning out their senses and speech. The limb-lacking silhouettes appear almost ethereal, but they are still connected to earth by their pyramidal base.

Beside her easel work Yunaika also does mural painting. She has worked in projects such as the Pavilion for the 16th International Faire of the Book in Guadalajara, Mexico and a mural for the Ministery of Communications and Data processing in Havanna, Cuba.

According to art critics, the successful exhibits of Yunaika's paintings in Mexico City and Guadalajara are just the beginning of a promising career.

Isolina is a Caribbean artist who is a master of colography. Colography is a special technique that permits a sophisticated juxtaposition of color and texture.

She obtained a M.F.A. degree in painting and engraving at the Instituto Superior de Art (ISA). Since 1990 she has been a member of the prestigious TEG (taller Experimental de la Grafica). Isolina is a close collaborator to 'Decoro', an interior design firm wich specializes in Caribbean hotels and resorts. Isolina is based in Coyoacan, the artist's village in Mexico city where numerous international artists work and live.

"Isolina's work refers to women in various ways. None of them naturalistic or photographic. The nudes and faces gently depicted, without tonal stridencies, connect with other bodies or are broken by a fringe of color or a gestural trace. Continuity breaks, leading to a soft fragmentation and merging of the bodies. This maneuver, together with gentle lines and amazing colorations, convert the expressionless beautiful faces into a reference of human serenity, a state of being complete and inaccessible." (Lissete Fraga Mena)

She has exhibited her work in 52 shows, 25 of them international, such as:

'The Magic of Mestiere'. (La Magia de Mestiere), Galería Grafic, Italy, 1991
"Caribbean Engraving", C. Cultural Latinoamericano, Brescia, Italy, 1992
'Young engravers' Madrid Spain 1993.
'The Art of Colography' Lituany. 1993
