Today is Fall Equinox, it is the time to give thanks for all of the light we have been enjoying, and to prepare for the time of darkness and introspection...when Sergio and I make the most work in the studio! As such, we are finally "full on" with our Mapuche/Ancestors work as you can see in this video.... enjoying this wonderFULL Autumnal weather here in Washington DC.
Soon, we will have the wood stove going.... and we will be drinking Mate through the night as we work!
We look forward to sharing this exciting Mapuche/Ancestors Collection with you!!
In Greek mythology, Autumn is when the goddess Persephone returns to the underworld to be with her husband Hades. It is a good time to reflect on successes or failures from the previous months and it is a time of give thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings. It is also a time to get ready for the cold dark months ahead as well as a time to appreciate the connection we have with those around us, as
well as those who have gone before us: our ancestors!

Enjoyed the video and seeing your space. Your ancestor paintings are very deep and moving. Are you getting ready for a show?
Thanks Lisa~ I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Yes, we are preparing this as part of a kickstarter backed project and hope to get at least a couple of shows out of it. You can see more about the project on our OlivosART.blogspot site.
love & light,
