Quechua Woman

This painting, part of the Faces of Femininity series, depicts the face of a Quechua woman from Peru, with nuances and expressive details that capture the essence of her culture. The woman is depicted wearing a broad blue hat that stands out against a multicolored, vibrant, and nuanced background representing the variety and vibrancy of Peruvian culture. The woman’s face is outlined with soft but firm lines, highlighting the distinctive features of her ethnicity. The use of cool colors for her face contrasts with the warmth of the background, creating a visual balance that reflects the depth and complexity of her cultural identity. For this series I am inspired by a deep interest in anthropology and cultural diversity; I have had direct experiences with various cultures around the world, enriching my art with an authentic understanding of the people I portray.

This work is exhibited at the Capriccio Art Hotel in Serravalle Scrivia, AL.
