Recordando a mi abuela by Erika Alfiero Image: "Memories of Grandma" is a canvas imbued with nostalgia, weaving into its flowers the patterns my grandmother used to crochet on the little mats she patiently taught me to make. The flowers adorning the Catrina's head are painted using a unique technique: watercolors that, upon receiving steam and immediately being erased with primer, create a glaze. This glaze evokes the illusion of what is no longer there or lies veiled, as in imagination or dreams. Thus, my grandmother's image lingers in the memory of those who loved her, a warm remembrance wrapped in affection. Drawing inspiration from Mexican Day of the Dead traditions, this artwork pays homage to the enduring bond between past and present, where the vibrant hues and delicate threads echo the intricate tapestry of our cultural heritage.

"Recordando a mi abuela" es una obra impregnada de nostalgia, entrelazando en sus flores los patrones que mi abuela solía tejer en los tapetitos que pacientemente me enseñó a hacer. Las flores que adornan la cabeza de la Catrina están pintadas con una técnica única: acuarelas que, al recibir vapor y borrarse inmediatamente con imprimación, crean una veladura. Esta veladura evoca la ilusión de lo que ya no está o se encuentra velado, como en la imaginación o los sueños. Así, la imagen de mi abuela perdura en la memoria de aquellos que la amaron, un cálido recuerdo envuelto en cariño.

Tomando inspiración de las tradiciones mexicanas del Día de los Muertos, esta obra rinde homenaje al vínculo perdurable entre el pasado y el presente, donde los colores vibrantes y los hilos delicados reflejan el intrincado tapiz de nuestra herencia cultural.
