"ANACAONA"

by Ruben Ubiera

Meaning "golden flower" in the Taino language of the Caribbean, Anacaona was born in Haiti into a family of chiefs who ruled when Hispaniola was colonized by the Spanish, and she was celebrated as a composer of ballads and poems. A victim of a massacre of Taino leaders a few years later, Anacaona continues to be revered in the cultures of both Haiti and the Dominican Republic.... Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, neo-figurative artist Ruben Gerardo Ubiera Gonzalez is known for his strong use of line, graffiti inspired technique, urban murals, mixed-media pieces and found object installations. A regular contributor to the @NorthShoreCDC conceived @Urban.Art.Museum in the heavily Dominican Punto neighborhood of Salem, MA, Ubiera created this tribute to Anacaona on Peabody St in 2017.  @urbanruben/

"EL CAMPESINO"

by Ruben Ubiera

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Ruben Ubiera's family moved to the Bronx when he was 15 but ended up settling in heavily Dominican The Point—El Punto—community of Salem, Massachusetts when he was a high school freshman. While now living and working in Florida, Ubiera still loves his old neighborhood and several years ago began working alongside other prominent artists and Boston area North Shore Community Development Coalition, adding beauty on the outside of the buildings to match the beauty of the people inside. Organized by @NorthShoreCDC as a result of those efforts, Punto @Urban.Art.Museum has now organized more than 75 murals including several contributions by Ubiera. "The Farmer" was painted in 2017 on Ward St.  @urbanruben/
