The author analyses the mestizaje worlds and symbols characteristic of the art of Colombian artist Ana Mercedes Hoyos reflecting not only on the aesthetic but on the anthropological value of her work, as seen in the colorful and expresive representations of the "palenqueras", the female fruit vendors of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. The artist combined her anthropological research in Palenque with pictorial techniques of pop-art to create her unique interpretation of the complex ethnic and cultural patrimony of Colombia. El escritor y crítico cultural Fernando Toledo realiza un ensayo sobre las referencias a la cultura africana que la artista Ana Mercedes Hoyos (b.Colombia, 1942), plasma en muchas de sus obras. La artista siempre se ha interesado por zonas como San Basilio de Palenque y la evidencia de la cultura africana en Colombia. LIMITED EDITION OF 500.
