New Collection
Soirée under the Moon
£3,900.00
122 x 91 cm
This is a painting in tribute to friendship and sisterhood. A group of women enjoying an evening in the garden under the full moon. One of them plays a guitar while the others listen, feel the music and are transported to that place where their dreams come true. To drink they have chicha de jora (Andean drink made from corn) and to eat, papaya and chirimoya.
"Friends with you I dream, I laugh, I fly, I sing, I dance, I cry and with your hugs I heal and I feel that together we are like the melody of a free and invincible song that makes me vibrate and inspires me..."
I hope this painting transmits joy to you, the same one I felt while painting it with these intense and vibrant colors :)
With Love

Moon Bathing 1
£750.00

Acrylic and embroidery on natural linen canvas
This series of artworks are inspired in a feeling of calm, tranquility and being with and caring about ourselves. Moon bathing is an ancestral practice of exposing oneself on the light of the moon in an effort to drink in the cooling lunar energy.
In the other hand, The Calathea plants (native to tropical rainforest in South and Central America and the West Indies), symbolise a NEW BEGINNING. For this painting I have used acrylics, embroidery thread and natural linen canvas. I include embroidery in my works as a a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.

Andean Fantasy 7 is a mixed media painting. Painted mainly in acrylic and palette knife, I have added a piece of an Andean cloth called Aguayo and and pieces of some texts of a book about Latin America (a very old book that had lost pages and was going to be thrown away in a second-hand bookstore) that I rescued to give a new live in my paintings, the texts are fused with the paint in the background. This is a painting with a lot of texture because it has been painted mostly with a spatula, also because of the pieces of aguayo fabric that merge with the painting.

Libertad
£2,800.00
Sold out
"Libertad" was finalist for the VIA Arts Prize
Libertad is inspired by the hope of a more equal and inclusive society.
During the last few years, in several Latin American countries, social movements of Afro-descendants obtained the recognition of important collective rights and forced their states and public opinion to accept the persistence of racism in their respective societies. In order to overcome racial discrimination and the social and political exclusion to which they have been historically subjected, however, there is still a long way to go in the fight for true equality.
Afro-descendant women have always been the most affected since they are inserted in a complex system of structural discrimination of both race and gender . Linking the fight against racism with overcoming gender discrimination and the search for autonomy for Afro-descendant women requires taking on the great challenges as a society for their individual and collective recognition as subjects of rights.

“The forest is our mother. The forest is our life and our strength. Women protect the healthy soil and fresh air to protect our children and all life. Now is the time to hear the voices of women to protect the Amazon.”
Cristina Gualinga, Kichwa grandmother from Sarayaku
This artwork celebrates women from the amazon as life-givers, wisdom keepers, and leaders while denouncing violence against women and Mother Earth.
Across the Amazon, Indigenous women are uniting and organizing in defense of life, rights, and territories while confronting increasing threats. Amazonian women defenders are on the front lines of defense and response to climate emergencies. This is in addition to leading resistance against extractive industries, agribusiness expansion, and government policies that incentivize fires, land-grabbing, and attacks against Earth defenders. Amazonian women defenders are guiding solutions for a better future and call upon all of us to listen to their voices and show our solidarity.
A percentage of the price of this painting is going for the Environmental Organisation of Mujeres Amazónicas.

Acrylic on canvas
Mama Ocllo, Mother Goddess of spinning, taught women the power of uniting threads with art. In many cultures such as the Andean one, weaving is linked to Spinning Goddesses, with power over destiny, with the rhythm of life and death that characterize existence within time. The fabric is a metaphor to understand the relationship between the everyday and the sacred, between the divine and the earthly.

This painting is inspired in Pachamama (Mother Earth), the Supreme Mother and Goddess honored by the indigenous people of the Andes. She is referred to as both the physical planet Earth as well as the universal Feminine Energy in time and space. Her name literally translates as Pacha – meaning world, land, earth, universe; and Mama, meaning Mother. She is the Mother of the World.
In Incan mythology Pachamama is also celebrated as a fertility Goddess who oversees planting and harvesting. She is responsible for the well-being of plants and animals...
I painted this Artwork with high quality acrylic paint and it is ready to hang. Because it is a deep canvas it doesn't need to be frame, the sides are painted in the same colour as the background.

Acrylic on canvas.
The women of the Indigenous Kichwa Peoples of Sarayaku have played a crucial role in their community’s resistance to attempts to extract the energy wealth hidden in the bowels of their ancestral territory. Always on the front lines of marches, carrying their babies on their backs or in their wombs, the warmis (“women” in Kichwa) have raised their voice to say “No!” to extraction and patriarchy. It is a double struggle for indigenous women of Sarayaku, who are determined to resist both the Ecuadorian State’s attempts to extract oil and the ancestral patriarchy they face in their community.

Acrylic paint and embroidery on recycled Jute coffee sacks.
Nature is inspiring all this serie of organic abstracts that I'm working on at the moment.
This work has been created with recycled jute (Latin American coffee bags) and embroidery. Lately I am exploring materials that allow me to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious art, in my process the recycled jute coffee bags are painted, cut and reconstructed in organic abstracts and arcing contour body silhouettes. I also use embroidery in my works as a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
About jute:
Known as the 'golden fiber' or Burlap, jute is the vegetable fiber extracted from the stem and bark of the plant called white jute (Corchorus capsularis) Jute is 100% natural, ecological, biodegradable, reusable and recyclable.
The extraction of the fiber is carried out mainly using biological processes, without the use of chemicals. The stems are submerged in water to separate the fibers.
Its cultivation is rainfed. It does not need irrigation, it feeds on rainwater.
It is one of the strongest and most resistant natural vegetable fibers.
Its growth is very fast, usually 4–6 months.
It can be cultivated in arid lands. The cultivation of jute enriches the fertility of the soil, allowing it to be used for other crops, such as rice. For all these reasons, we could say that jute is one of the most environmentally friendly fibers that exists

River is inspired in the amazon river, This river does not move in a straight line, but forms winding shapes from the Peruvian Andes to the north and then to the east. The curvature of these serpentine figures are known as meanders. I have represented these meanders with an embroidery that crosses the composition, likewise the organic figures in the background represent the different ecosystems and landscapes that the river crosses from the mountains to the sea.

Gouache and on hand made recycled paper. This artwork is framed.
This series of nudes of women hugging themselves is my way of expressing that feeling of love and care for oneself and for our body. Our body is our greatest support and also a companion for life that reflects what happens in our emotional world, from which we are usually disconnected. Thanks to our body we are here, without a body there is no life, when it doesn't work, nothing around us works, but when it works we are able to reach the moon with our hands.
These paintings are created with gouache and pastel on handmade recycled cotton paper.

Q'enti (Colibrí/Hummingbird)
£450.00
£350.00
50 x 40 x 4 cm
Acrylic on canvas.
In the Andean worldview, each of the 4 directions (South, West, North, East) are linked to an archetypal power animal that represents and inspires certain values. Each of these animals also radiates a different energy vibration and helps us in certain circumstances of our life.
The hummingbird (Q'enti) teaches us to obtain wisdom from each experience, both good and bad, and that we have the ability to change direction in our flight whenever we wish. It represents the courage it takes to embark on an epic journey (each year hummingbirds migrate from Brazil to Canada, a seemingly impossible journey for birds of their size). The energy of the hummingbird propels us on that epic journey that will take us back to our origin, where our spirit was born. The hummingbird is associated with the soul and with the Hanaq Pacha ("world above").
