Retablo Painting

"Thanks to the beautiful stranger For the top intimate moments of my life!" The inspiration came from my cross-cultural interest in folk art, particularly Latin American retablo. This type of art has its origins in the Spanish tradition of religious painting, which expresses gratitude to sacred figures for protecting people in dangerous situations. In the mid-20th century, retablo was revived in Peru as a popular art form that addressed everyday situations and incorporated ideas of protection, healing, and gratitude for someone's help. I found this form very useful for expressing my own experiences, observations, anxieties, and delight. Since narrative is very important in my work and text is usually integrated into the image, I invented the character of my letters, which is based on skoropysa, an 18th century Ukrainian calligraphic style. I go about appropriating different cultural traditions and combining them to create my own unique style of expression.
