In my painting Renaissance, I bring ideas of dualism and transformation rooted in the language of the ancient Andean art with cultural identity in the contemporary. Duality express in the way of a cultural structure in this piece, not as a gender, but in the way to think of two opposite places that I lived in. Using the two figures mirroring I think in my work on the unsettling between the piece and the viewer in a way to reflect on the past and the present. I am narrating stories indexing pre-Columbian iconography that remind me where I come from and how I maintain alive the continuity of my cultural inheritance.Try it!
