The Artist, Fanny Sanín

Fanny Sanín, one of Colombia’s second-generation abstract artists, turned to geometric abstraction in 1969 and never looked back.
A light-skinned older woman with short, light brown hair stands in front of an abstract painting. She wears a black and white striped shirt with two beaded necklaces. The painting behind her depicts grey and red rectangles framing grey, brown, and green triangles.
