Havana
Colour as memory, energy and resistance. Cuba is not a backdrop; it is a way of seeing the world.

Colour draws the eye. Material reveals the story. The work continues in the conscience.

The craft
“Each work has an important story to tell.”
Born in Havana, shaped by fifteen years in Sitges and now based in Lausanne, Dayamí combines collage, painting, object and a lifetime of materials to speak plainly about the environment, women's rights, peace, racism and technology. No gesture is decorative: every layer and every texture has a reason.

An inner geography
Havana · Sitges · Lausanne
Three places, one language: Caribbean memory, Mediterranean freedom and Swiss precision meet through material.
Sitges
Fifteen years by the Mediterranean and a practice in interior design expanded her vocabulary of materials.
Lausanne
A place of focus and dialogue from which the work connects intimate experience with social and environmental questions.
“Every work has an important story to tell.”
Atlas of materials
The surface is a language.
Collage, paint, textile, thread, wood, metal and found objects are never ornaments. Each material is chosen for what it means, resists or reveals.
