ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2019 / Acrylic on stretched canvas. Unframed but with painted sides, and if you want it wired to hang it without frame let me know. Abstract representation of a Worry Doll (Muñeca Quitapenas). "The Legend of the Worry Dolls: Worry Dolls are tiny, hand-crafted dolls from Guatemala. The dolls are clothed in traditional Mayan costumes and stand one-half to one inch tall. The indigenous people from the Highlands in Guatemala created Worry Dolls many generations ago as a remedy for worrying. According to the Mayan legend, when worrying keeps a person awake, he or she tells a worry to as many dolls as necessary. Then the worrier places the dolls under his or her pillow. The dolls take over the worrying for the person who then sleeps peacefully through the night. When morning breaks, the person awakens without the worries that the dolls took away during the night." This piece have been part of the next exhibitions: -'Color Theory' Solo show at Connect Gallery, Omaha NE. -'The voice of our roots' Group exhibit at Museo Latino, Omaha NE. -'OEAA Awards Visual Artist Showcase' 2020, RBR Gallery, Omaha NE.

I'm Latina visual artist born in Guatemala and based in the United States, and I create art that is colorful, warm and happy just like my heritage. As a visual artist my preferred mediums are acrylic paint, graphite and digital-media, implementing geometric shapes and contrasting colors as recurrent elements in some of my pieces. My art is about storytelling, exploring elements of everyday life and pop-culture aspects in a colorful and cheerful way; often focused on kindness and inclusion. With a background in commercial graphic design and illustration, my paintings have a distinctive, strong figurative and graphic line.
