Firelei Báez's recent works are complex and layered, featuring fantastical hybrid figures that combine different narratives and challenge traditional representations of history, gender, and race.
In her first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, Báez presents her first-ever bronze sculpture alongside large-scale canvases that evoke the rich influences of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora.
Utilizing beauty in her art, Báez aims to reprocess the enduring impacts of violence and trauma, transforming these themes into expressions of joyful rebellion.
Báez's paintings draw upon a variety of subjects that include folklore, fantasy, science fiction, and pop culture, highlighting her exploration of Afro-Caribbean narratives.
