Oil on canvas, 48”x60”, 2025
In “La Llorana,” the human figure emerges and disappears all at once and invites you into a quiet, almost secret world.
A presence both rooted and untethered. Inspired by the Latin American folklore, the figure carries the shadow of a story told to warn, to haunt, to shape the way women move through the world. Her gaze, steady yet unreadable, challenges the histories that have cast women who grieve or resist as dangerous, unhinged, or vilified. The palette, drawn from the forest floor, grounds her in something older than these myths — a place where sorrow becomes strength, and disappearance can be a form of power. Her hair merges with the trees, dissolving the boundaries between woman, landscape, and spirit.
At over life-size, this painting holds its own physical presence, drawing the viewer into the space between reality and myth. This is a work that carries both stillness and tension — a gaze that will shift in meaning depending on the day, the light, and the viewer.
