Painting Cholita Cochabamba, Bolivia



This painting is part of the series “Portraits of Migrants”. Acrylic on canvas 50 x 70 centimeters .

The painting was done from a Photograph taken at “La Cancha” of a woman who kindly agreed to pose for me. La Cancha is a huge market place in the city of Cochabamba Bolivia. There is a large migrant population, mostly women, which go from Cochabamba to Spain. I visited Bolivia for the fist time last summer and I was enchanted by its people.
