Legado Ancestral

(Ancestral Legacy)

​

...the memories... the mythology of a family, the legacy of our ancestors, the essence of a community, the sounds, colors, and the rich aroma of Café Bustelo. I invite you to explore the merging of Indigenous, Yoruba, and Catholic spirituality and mythology through the materials, colors, textures, and repurposed elements that shape my work. This journey moves through the vibrant tapestry of my memory, of a community that lives in the cells of my being.

In my ongoing artistic exploration of the Legado Ancestral (Ancestral Legacy) Series, I delve into the profound significance of ancestral connections and the interplay between past, present, and future. This body of work seeks to honor and celebrate the rich cultural heritage that flows through our veins, shaping our identities and influencing our experiences.

I draw inspiration from the timeless wisdom, traditions and memories passed down through generations.

Each artwork in the series serves as a visual portal, bridging the gap between the tangible and the intangible, the seen and the unseen.

Ultimately, the Legado Ancestral series serves as a reminder that we are part of a larger narrative, woven together by the threads of our shared past.
