Belkis Ayón Manso (January 23, 1967 – September 11, 1999) was a Cuban artist and lithographer [cite web| url = http://www.belkisayon.com| title = Belkis Ayón Website| accessdate = 2008-03-30|] . Her work was based on Afro-Cuban religion, combining the myth of Sikan and the traditions of the Abakuá, a men's secret society, though her work was often thought to reflect her personal issues as well. [ [http://www.csupomona.edu/~kellogg_gallery/critics/ayon2.html Cultural Critics Page 6 ] ] Her work began exhibition in 1988, and exhibitions continued until at least 2006 [cite web| url = http://www.belkisayon.com/biography/index.php?lang=eng&show=personal_exhibitions| title = Belkis Ayón Biography - Personal Exhibitions|accessdate = 2008-03-30|] . The artist committed suicide at the age of 32.

Since her death, the Cuban government has declared her work a patrimony, and so none of it is currently allowed to leave the country. [ [http://www.csupomona.edu/~kellogg_gallery/critics/ayon.html Cultural Critics Page 5 ] ]
