ARTWORKS
Cosmogony Hieratic Series
The Cosmogonía Hieratica series is an investigation of more than twenty years, which from subjectivity represents in this last stage a parallel exegesis between the ancestral Latin American ethnic cultures of their connection between the mystical, sacred, natural and human and the subjectivity of the creator , which develops an investigation between mixed technique, industrial fabric whose tone reminds us of the chroma, flavor and smell of the mystical drink "chocolate".
