Cholita (2022)
Acrylic on Canvas 24” x 18”

Cholita means young Andean woman. The idea to paint a cholita came from the interest in creating modern representations of Andean people––especially from the Quechua community. Quechua speakers are native to Peru and there are some significant populations in Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina. As a Peruvian artist, Arones is constantly promoting new ways to absorb and visualize the beauty of Andean communities through a contemporary approach. Arones is highly stimulated by colors and their satisfactory arrangement. Traditional Andean clothes [shown in artwork] are as vibrant as they look in my recreation –– they find this such an inexplicable beauty that I will keep indulging and searching on.

Artist Statement

With my practice, I use saturated colors to create and highlight the surreal sensations of migration that I had on my inner self: homesickness, anxiety, melancholy, and grief. I enjoy developing mixed media pieces that exhibit my cultural identity, soul, and personality. It was not an instant talent, but daily practice and excitement for the design process to motivate me to not stop creating––holding a brush as I would let and pour my soul and heart out. Moreover, the blending of colors not only drew satisfaction to me, but emotional authenticity as well. I believe art is one of the most representative forms by which an individual can express love, such as the love for my Peruvian identity. Therefore, I aim to represent my community by advocating, learning new leadership skills, and involving myself in creative industries.
