My Ancestors series symbolizes the ancient and sacred spaces that preserve my connection with my roots and with the ancient-ecological wisdom of my ancient ancestors, always present as The Eternal Return.
I began this series by remembering my trip to Spain (1989) to study the pre-historic paintings of the Altamira caves in the Basque country, which being the home of my paternal ancestors.
For this series I have been inspired as well by El Maule region in Chile and its rich rock art places. In the 70’s I first learned about this place from the archaeologist Hans Niemeyer F. who was my mentor, and recently, by the anthropologist Pablo González Bravo (PhD)
