Description of the Artwork “Llamita”
A depiction of a Llama, a South American camelid endemic to the Andes, and domesticated by the native American civilizations that inhabited this region. Jáuregui´s rendition of the Llama is filled with color and puts the animal at the centerstage, celebrating its preponderant role that lives up to this day in the culture and life of the Andean peoples. *THE PAINTING IS NOT SHIPPED MOUNTED ON A STRETCHER, CANVAS WILL BE ROLLED AND PLEACED INSIDE A PROTECTIVE TUBE FOR SHIPPING.
Giovanna Jauregui received training in the plastic arts in Bolivia, Brazil, and the Netherlands. She defines herself as a nature lover in all its manifestations. She paints the flora and fauna of the Andean lands. Her work often challenges the traditional use of color. She intends to transmit to the viewer an emotional experience that can move the spirit. Apart from her work as an artist, she is also a lawyer, and has combined these roles to lead a crusade to defend the rights of woman within the plastic arts in Bolivia by helping open up spaces for artistic expression and exhibition that were not traditionally open for female plastic artists.
