Hermanas
Medium: Oil, acrylic, on wood and canvas. Dimensions: 40″x 80″x 4″.
The Hermanas (retablo) re-contextualizes a long tradition of Peruvian pictorial representation, adapting from the first retablos used by the Spanish to evangelize the Andean communities to more secular themes of tradition, family, and celebration. Hermanas presents two figures as the centerpiece of the retablo, their backs turned towards the viewer in a moment of contemplation.
