Wallpariy by Ariana Olaya: four figures in wide-brimmed hats carry bundles of harvested grain across a golden field toward a rising sun, painted in deep oranges, reds, and yellows. Iskay Apu by Ariana Olaya: two figures in hats and bright layered skirts walk a narrow street of ochre and white houses with red tile roofs, beneath a green hill and a violet mountain with two peaks. A steep village street painted in pink, orange and red, its buildings leaning inward beneath a spiral of cloud in a blue sky. A narrow village street in flat bright colour, with green, pink and red houses, iron balconies and a tiled church bell tower against a blue sky.

Artist Statement

Through painting, I preserve cultural narratives that are often passed down through memory rather than written history.
