13 12 UMBRA 33 ROJA 2003, Linen, gesso, acrylic paint; 176x100 cm, artist´s collection. “In my deep desire to experiment and find new colors, textures and materials, I discovered peasant looms, and found that all Colombia weaves. I found that the peasant in Cundinamarca province weaves and lives; that his humble, marvelous loom is made of rustic materials where the human hand can be felt. The peasants spin as they walk.” 2
