◾This artwork is the 2° of a new series entitled “Violeta in the heart” about Violeta Parra and her songs. This work is about the song “Back at seventeen”. For this work I relied mainly on the chorus: ◾It is entangled, entangling, like ivy on the wall and is sprouting, sprouting like moss in stone as the moss in stone, oh yeah, yeah, yeah ◾Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval (4 October 1917 – 5 February 1967) was a Chilean composer, songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist (paintings, ceramics, and tapestries). She set the basis for “Chilean’ New Song”, the Nueva canción chilena, a renewal and a reinvention of Chilean folk music which would absorb and extend its influence far beyond Chile. Her most renowned song, Gracias a la Vida (Thanks to Life), was popularized throughout Latin America by Mercedes Sosa and later in the US by Joan Baez. ◾However, Violeta attracted much more attention and renown abroad than at home. Between 1961 and 1965 she returned to Europe, where she performed ceaselessly at everywhere from small bars to the halls of the United Nations. ◾In 1964, Violeta became the first Latin American to show her work as a stand-alone exhibit in Parisian museum The Louvre

I am a Portuguese visual artist and I live in Chile.I have 3 children. I have had several individual and collective exhibitions throughout my life. I participated in the 1st Andiamericana Triennial of Art (1993) and I have exhibited twice at the Ralli Museum. I am a painting teacher at the Talagante Cultural Corporation and at the Peñaflor Space. I work in a great number of mediums, including oil, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, photography and mixed media. My artwork can be found in many private collections across Portugal, France, Mozambique, Switzerland, Chile, Nicaragua, Argentina, Australia and England . - Latitude imposed - In me, there is also the spirit of the Portuguese sailors and adventurers. It all starts with the journey imposed from the old world, the colonial Portugal to Mozambique, in Africa, full of black ethnicity , magic, shapes, textures, lights and a fantastic colorful splendor .The distance between my dormant origins and the sudden awakening does not exhaust the endless question: Who am I? I experiment this fabulous latitude, mixing it with other lives, other pains, with the purity of color and pattern of tiles they call Mestiza . I built Attitudes from my Latitudes. In these Latitudes, I searched the jungle light seeds that populate my paintings and ceramics. In these Latitudes, I found the mestizo that inhabiting my works. My Latitudes and Attitudes and the mix of color and pain that confronted me during this precursor of life determine my pursuit of art within the human being, specifically in the Universe of Being a Woman. I am aware that in art, knowledge is to move, that art does not interpret, reveals, does not explain … shows the hidden side of the human being. What I paint is therefore a journey inside the mind … in the “doors and windows of the soul”, female territories of connection with Life and Divinity. These Latitudes, my attitudes and through Art I continued seeking the experiences of “Being a Woman”.
