Niña del Volcán

Esta obra nació de una escena que vi en el Colca y que se quedó grabada en mi memoria: niñas vestidas con trajes tradicionales caminando junto a sus llamas y acercándose a los viajeros para tomarse fotografías.

Me conmovió la naturalidad y la ternura de esa relación cotidiana entre ellas, los animales y el paisaje. Niña del Volcán es simplemente el recuerdo de ese instante, reinterpretado desde mi propia mirada

English translationThis painting was born from a scene I saw in the Colca that stayed with me: girls in traditional dress walking beside their llamas and coming up to travelers to have their pictures taken.

I was moved by how natural and tender that everyday bond was, between the girls, their animals and the landscape. Niña del Volcán is simply the memory of that moment, reimagined through my own eyes.
