Inspired by the Vignette The Accent They Tried to Erase
Medium: Oli on canvas
In Voces Silenciadas, fragmented lips emerge in Cubist abstraction—part coral, part blue—surrounded by geometric pieces of flags from Spanish-speaking nations, including the Dominican Republic and Colombia. No teeth, no tongue—just presence. Just power.
This piece draws from the vignette The Accent They Tried to Erase, in which the author reflects on the silencing of cultural identity, particularly in professional spaces where accents are mistaken for inadequacy. The lips in this painting speak without sound but not without story. They carry generations of resilience, migration, and multilingual brilliance.
This work invites viewers to consider: What does it mean to lead when your voice is policed? How do we reclaim space when our language, our voz—has been dismissed?
A tribute to those who were told to quiet down, this painting boldly says: We are still speaking
Size: 16in X 16in
