Description01 Maria Lionza Gala Garrido galagalo.jpg
English: Gala Garrido venezuelan visual artist. Maria Lionza is a pagan deity, a central image of worship, deeply rooted in the Venezuelan symbolic system. The figure of the mother in Latin America occupies a sacred place. In any context, our society is matricentrist -orbital around powerful, central and authoritative women- in which fathers are usually absent. In this series I use the image of Maria Lionza to explore the archetype of the mother in Latin America. www.galagalo.com #GalaGarrido #galagalo
