AYACUCHAN EMBROIDERY
“Give up, like I gave up. Dive into what you don't know like me. Don't worry about understanding, living surpasses any understanding”. Lispector's words that the Peruvian artist Danielli Ríos used to complement her work. It is an embroidery. Danielli learned about the Brazilian author's writings when she was in college and was struck by her style. “I wanted to add something Peruvian to Clarice's work. I used the Ayacucho embroidery technique with wool on a sublimated canvas. My work is inspired by the strength that she has in her books, in getting out of the everyday, in bringing women to light and being the protagonist of her own story. I highlighted that with Ayacucho embroidery, which is so colorful, so alive,” says Ríos.
