Taquileña
De niña, en las actuaciones escolares en Puno, descubrí la elegancia del traje de las taquileñas. Me impresionaba la sobriedad del negro, en contraste con el colorido de sus apliques, sus trenzas, cintas y abanicos. En esta obra quise rendir homenaje a ese recuerdo y a la identidad que transmite su vestimenta, que se relacionan con la tierra, la fertilidad y los ciclos de la vida agrícola.
English translationAs a child, at school performances in Puno, I discovered the elegance of the dress worn by the women of Taquile. I was struck by the sobriety of the black, against the color of its appliqués, their braids, ribbons and fans. In this painting I wanted to honor that memory and the identity their clothing carries, tied to the land, fertility and the cycles of farming life.
