Firelei Báez (1981, Santiago de los Caballeros. Lives in New York) is a visual artist known for works on paper, canvas, large-scale sculptures, and installations. Her practice investigates untold stories and silenced voices, using portraiture, landscape, and design to question the Western canon. Referencing diverse visual cultures, she depicts bodies in ways that challenge structures of race and class. She participated in the 10th Berlin Biennale and the 59th Venice Biennale. Her works are held in public collections such as Dallas Museum of Art, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Studio Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), and Tate (London).
