A vibrant painting of a woman with flowers against a desert backdrop.

My work reimagines portraiture as a space of transcendence, healing, and self-reclamation. As a first-generation descendant of the Andean diaspora (Quechua and Aymara), I am guided by the question: What remains of us beyond inherited histories, trauma, and physical form?

Through portraiture, I explore ancestral memory, cultural continuity, and the sacred dimensions of identity. My paintings center Indigenous women from Latin America as radiant embodiments of presence and resilience. Drawing from oral histories, meditation, and authentic narratives, I create ethereal realms where the sacred and surreal converge, transforming personal and collective experiences into spaces of sanctuary.

Working in oil and airbrush, I engage a deliberate material duality. Oil connects my practice to the visual language of classical and religious painting, while airbrush serves as a contemporary tool of remembrance, rooted in both personal history and cultural familiarity. Through layers of luminous color, intuitive patterning, and symbolic form, my figures emerge as vessels of ancestral memory and collective healing.

At its core, my practice seeks to expand the visual language of portraiture by imagining futures in which Indigenous women are seen not through histories of erasure, but through dignity, agency, and spiritual presence. Each painting becomes an offering a meditation on transformation, and the enduring capacity of the human spirit.
