Retablos are Latin American devotional paintings which commemorate events that are worthy of thanking  the saints for their protection and for their good deeds.

Sometimes the canvas makes you feel empty, so that is when an artist needs to explore the 3-dimensions

Devonport Craft Market

Hola!

I am an Argentinean artist and have been living in New Zealand for the last five years. Much of my work is inspired by South American beliefs and folk art.

I am currently working on a series of “ex votos” – these are a personal thank you to a person or hero when an individual is saved from a dangerous or threatening event. These events can range from a health scare or accident to a personal situation or even a relationship issue, there is usually something quirky about the event.

I'll be at the Devonport Craft Market on 5 September, 32 Clarence Street, Devonport. 10am - 2pm selling my ex votos. Below are some examples.
