"The Palenquera" is a illustration paying homage to the Afro-Colombian tradition. These iconic figures, known for their radiant smiles and friendly demeanor, grace the streets of Cartagena de Indias. With baskets of exotic fruits atop their heads, they embody the rich cultural heritage. Created using an acrylic technique on canvas, this artwork serves as a heartfelt tribute to my roots and the vibrant spirit of my culture.
