This poster was created for the exhibition “El Cartel de Puerto Rico en Colombia,” a 1986 international showcase of Puerto Rican poster art. Alonso’s design features fragmented facial elements and radiating fan shapes, referencing both indigenous Caribbean iconography and modern graphic abstraction. The work symbolizes the cultural exportation of Puerto Rican identity through poster art.
The exhibition marked one of several international efforts by the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña to establish Puerto Rican poster-making as a leading Latin American artistic tradition. Alonso’s contribution visually communicates the island’s cultural complexity and its capacity for aesthetic innovation.
