Mother and Child

I explore a wide variety of themes in my work. Many of my pieces include symbolism and depictions of Andean culture. These are also usually intertwined with themes of Mother Earth (who is also an Andean deity) and nature, which I tend to represent in the female figure. Some of my work deals with injustices that happened in the world that deeply affected me. I portray these works with graphite, in black and white. Lastly, what applies to nearly all of my pieces, regardless of theme, is that they are dreamlike and surreal.
