This body of work is inspired by the women in my family, my perception of their life, my relationship with them, and their character. I strived to honor their strength, courage, love, and resilience by using "magical" portraiture as the medium. I used shared stories of them, memories, and personal experiences to influence and filter their portrayal in these paintings. The titles of the paintings are the Hispanized names of Inca gods. They are meant to be playful and allude to some elements of the portraits.
