Bio
Yubi Kirindongo (1946, Curaçao)
Yubi is a self-taught painter. He gradually discovered that he could use art as a way to express his own liberation and development. Back in Curaçao, he evolved into one of the island’s best known and most socially engaged artists. He devotes himself to effecting social change and eliciting a greater cultural contribution from the black community. His frustration over the underestimation of his Afro-Caribbean brothers and sisters – and the consequent denial of their culture – and his anger over the pollution and ecological destruction of his beloved island, are sources of inspiration for his growth as an artist.
