Going back to my essence of peace, love and power.

Oh! how much art has given me! Or how much I have given art. Throughout this time this intertwining game has been fun, self exploratory, soul opening, and a lot more. I am deeply thankful that I have had the chance to execute and produce art. At some point in my life, when I was a child and later on when I was working in humanitarian labor, I thought that maybe this was not going to be possible… in this life. Helping people has been a big passion to me, just like sharing my creativity, and so _I have said this before_ I thought that maybe doing both might not be possible. But life (and myself) have proven me wrong. So I am deeply thankful for having had a chance to play art, fashion, create The Global Dress Movement and much more. How joyous it has been!

Kaleidoscopic Lima in Washington DC

It has been more than a year since I launched my work and a year since we took the “Caleidoscopic Lima” collection to Washington DC. At the time, very few people understood why we took the collection to Washington, but now that the 2015 Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) https://www.2015lima.gob.pe/en/ has been held in Lima, it makes more sense to tell you about it.

After showing my work at Flashmode, I was approached by people from promPeru (Zulia, I am very thankful for having seen this in me) in order to work a collection that could be shown in Washington. The reason, the Governors meeting would be held here in Lima in 2015 and we needed to welcome them with an glimpse of what they would see here this year. So, it was great fun to gather all the material I already had and to add some more such as the Peruvian government palace (which I was delighted to shoot inside out) and Pachacamac and other sites and to portray in my walking canvas.

Kaleidoscopic Lima

We all have something to live for, mine is to create, I create to be able to live. And getting to the creation of “Kaleidoscopic Colonial Lima” has meant the unification of my knowledge of Communication Sciences, Anthropology, Semiotics, Photography, Art and my research in digital printing techniques, pattern making and sewing, accompanied by perseverance, challenging myself constantly and understanding that even if we dream of being the best at something , we discover that we are only adding a little light to all the existing creations in the world.
