Diego Llerena, United States
Toil (Sal de Maras)
DESCRIPTION
In Cusco, Peru.
I reflected on life as I viewed the harmony in the work of families in the salt mines of maras.
A reflection on life given by my home.
AUTHOR
I'm a painter and photographer who's captivated by the quirks of psychology and the surreal moments in life. My work is shaped by personal experiences, travels, along with past events and current ones. I pay close attention to the interplay of line, color, and the emotional weight of the subject.

Cinematic compositions, along with the styles of Edward Hopper and the vibrant palettes of the Impressionists such as Gauguin, Van Gogh and the members of Les Nabis, influence my approach. Having grown up in Lima, Peru, and later moving to Washington D.C., my multicultural background infuses my art with a unique perspective.

Through my art, I want to spark introspection and connection. I invite viewers to explore the dance between reality and the subconscious, uncovering beauty in the often-overlooked moments.
