Adelfa Cantelli (b. unknown - d. unknown)
Adelfa Cantelli was an influential Cuban-American artist active in Miami between the 1960s and 1970s, primarily known for her contributions to Cuban theater and visual arts. Cantelli’s name first gained wider recognition in the 1970 volume of the Boletín de Artes Visuales (Visual Arts Bulletin), which described her as a painter and highlighted her artistic achievements.
Her work was celebrated for its evocative portrayal of Cuban scenes and landscapes, reflecting both nostalgia and cultural pride. In March 1970, Cantelli held a solo exhibition at the Pan American Bank of Miami, where she showcased 18 figurative pieces. These works, characterized by their vivid depictions of Cuban life, resonated with the Cuban-American diaspora and broader Miami art community during a period when Cuban culture was becoming more prominent in the region.
Although primarily remembered for her visual art, Cantelli also had strong connections to the Cuban theater scene, contributing to the cultural fabric of Miami during a pivotal time in the city’s history.
Her legacy, though underexplored, offers a unique lens on Cuban-American identity during the mid-20th century, capturing the vibrancy of a community in exile and the resilience of its cultural expression.
