Although her dad introduced her to art, it’s Barzaga’s women that first caught my eye. There’s a timelessness about them; they live in the past; they live in the future; they live, live, live. Outer beauty tempered with a single tear, a certain melancholy, they celebrate joy with music and friendship. They wear their sadness well. And I love every one of them.
Let’s chat.
Note: In honor of Barzaga's Cuban heritage,
questions and answers appear in Spanish
