Ketty Rodríguez Quevedo is a Cuban visual
artist whose work navigates poetic
symbolism through painting. She began her
artistic training at the prestigious San
Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts—
one of the oldest and most respected art
schools in the Americas—and later
graduated with honors from the University
of the Arts (ISA) in Havana, an elite
institution that selects only a handful of
students nationwide each year.
Her artistic journey includes numerous solo
and group exhibitions in Cuba, the United
States, and Europe. In 2016, she was
selected for a residency at the Vermont
Studio Center, a competitive program that
supports emerging voices in contemporary
art. That same year, she began exhibiting in
the U.S., expanding her practice across
borders. During her final year at ISA,
American artist Frank Stella visited her
studio and offered an impromptu talk on her
work, recognizing its strength.
