I am passionate about refreshing my old memories by watching on old family photos. I admire the composition, the spontaneity, and the quality of them. I have some in my memory box. Looking for inspiration to my faceless series, I found a perfect pose of my aunt Gladis, I think, in 1957. She is my father’s sister, and the wife to my uncle Mario, who is my mother's brother. Did you get it? That means I have cousins that are almost my sibling too. Ok, but the important thing here is why she inspired me to create this painting. Well, her lovely relaxing, and straightforward pose connected me to develop a new painting that made me happy, and had fun while doing it. Of course, this not a portrait of Gladis; this painting is my interpretation of that moment. I created a story behind because when I was paintIng it, all the BLM issues became critics, so I decided to make give her dark skin. In Colombia, we affectionately call a dark-haired and medium to a dark-skinned woman, Morocha.
