Alicia de la Campa Pak

"That sense of transcending the work is like a very low whisper, time will tell what will really transcend the work"

Alicia de la Campa Pak

1966. Havana, Cuba

Painter, Drawer, Engraver, and Illustrator

Alicia de la Campa Pak’s practice encompasses painting, drawing, printmaking, and illustration, with the female figure occupying a central place within her visual language. Through the body, she develops reflections on identity, history, society, mythology, utopia, and the complex relationship between individual experience and cultural memory.

Drawing is fundamental to her creative process, functioning both as a point of departure and as an expressive language in its own right. Her figures inhabit ambiguous and often timeless environments where references to Cuban culture encounter broader traditions of Western art, creating compositions that move between the intimate, the symbolic, and the surreal.

Across different bodies of work, De la Campa Pak constructs a personal iconography in which femininity, beauty, vulnerability, transformation, and imagination continually intersect. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, her images invite multiple readings, transforming the human figure into a space for exploring both personal and collective experience.
