Belaxis Buil is a performance and multimedia artist, as well as a professional dancer and choreographer. Her works span themes of social psychology, the media, technology, geopolitics, human rights and gender. Biblical text, Sigmund Freuds theories and Aldus Huxley writings have been the root of inspiration.

Belaxis Buil's excoriates the iconography of dominion through a montage of symbols, creating a theater of the absurd played out with mixed media employing the artist herself as a powerful yet masterfully scripted component of performance. Buil's work combines an internationalist vision of liberty and restraint, cascading a harvest of rich metaphor and historical reference- offering the manifold contradictions and blatant truths of oppression, submission and injustice in society as evidence of the duplicity of the nature of evil and the resilience of the human spirit. Her work has been exhibited in Europe (Art Tacheles), the United States (Arte Americas, Nobu 67_Art Basel, Photo Miami_ Art Basel, Art Miami_ Art Basel (Roy Quint Gallery), Freedom Tower –Amnesty International Exhibit,  Miami Beach Cinematheque, International Ballet Festival) and Asia (Art Shanghai) . Buil's work illuminates the tangible price of torture in spirit and society- that which robs a nation of its humanity likewise thefts her citizenry of their liberty- the devolution of both legal boundaries and social repugnance to physical horror is tantamount to en masse social death.
