Incas Road Paintings
Prints,Oil on canvas, Oil on wood, Oil on paper, Mixed mediaThat sleepy afternoon I got off the bus in Catamarca in the Northwest of Argentina was a turning point in my life. I understood that there was something else in Argentina beyond European Buenos Aires.
I felt the vibration of the landscape, the buried culture bursting from the earth. I found the fragmentary remains of the Incas Road and the vision of the peoples and cultures who once traveled upon it, from Chile to Colombia. The 14,000-mile network of roads built by the Incas more than 500 years ago became a symbol for me of a lost and disappearing culture.
