While I was thinking about what I wanted to create for an art fair I was going to participate in, my iaia passed away, and I decided to pay tribute to her through a series of pieces that I titled “Herencias para Isabel.”
The group of works forms a portrait of my iaia through the objects in her house that reminded me the most of her, and through the phrases she used to say to me, which I have used as the titles of the works.
This series is a tribute to my iaia in particular, but also a tribute to all grandmothers and to their immense work within the family.
Those of us who are children of working parents have had them as a second mother; their role is fundamental in upbringing, and the help they give to parents is worthy of recognition.
