The artist

“This piece represents the pain of losing a loved one, a child. His face is full of Andean symbology -petroglyphs and local fauna-.

I carved a face, but it lacked expression. So, I took a picture of Carlos and then the expression of extreme sadness appeared. The petroglyphs show how he is already blended with this earth.”
