José Bedia is one of the most widely known Cuban artists in the contemporary art world. Major influences in his work include the Afro-Cuban religion Palo Monte, which he studied in Cuba, and the spirituality of the American Indians, which he began to explore after coming to America.
Bedia’s works are in the permanent collections of several museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
