Artist Statement:
My work is nourished by
symbols, stories, traditions,
rituals, experiences, and by
permanently returning to
admire the iconography of
ancestral world cultures,
especially Peruvian culture –
which are extraordinary and
fascinating. These experiences
inspire me to discover,
explore and absorb
contemporary visual arts,
which exist lavishly, choosing
the one that moves me and fits
the direction of my visions of
totem images, of symbolic
characters and landscapes, and
of my experience; developing
ancestral patterns that are
essentially Andean.
The images are born in my long
walks and travels; in
exhibits, museums, galleries,
books and multimedia
information, which stimulate
my creative spirit, leading me
to near my encounter with
vibrant and intense color,
with elaborate and symbolic
form, as well as with the
refined technique of my tool:
the loom. Followed by the
search of a lyrical,
spiritual, poetic language,
product of this part of the
continent and of this time.
