Frutas y ventana Painting

Moved by the social-protests, economic strife, and Covid-19 global pandemic, she began her current series of Naturaleza Muerta del Paisaje. The eye-catching backgrounds of the small-scale still lifes vibrate in contrast to the arrangements of multi-colored tropical fruits, flowers, animals, objects and sometimes people from Velasco’s childhood and daily life. These visually enticing works serve as prayers that carry socio-political, environmental, and spiritual significance and are an extension of her attempt to make sense of the world. She is interested in the interdependent existence of her subjects as perceived in these arrangements that wish to prove that all phenomena and perception is dependent arising therefore interconnected and self liberating.
