“Apu” by Jade Rivera

Oil painting worked from a picture taken in the small village of Pucará in Huancayo, Perú. The artist has worked with the triangular shape of the image, which has been related to a mountain that, according to beliefs in the highlands of Peru, are Apus (spirits of the mountains that protect the Andean people). Through painting and interpretation, the artist uses the power of the image to give us the feeling that through the painting we can feel the mountains and their traditions.
