Annie Flores is an artist who trained as an engraver at the National School of Fine Arts and, later, at the University of Strasbourg, France.
In these three paintings, the artist has represented elements whose shapes evoke mountains and the female form. During the colonial period, the imagery of the mountain was used to represent the body of the Virgin Mary, with her dress arranged to recall its slopes.
In the smallest of the three paintings, we see a roughly triangular sketch which forms the basis for the other two paintings.
In the second painting, we see what appears to be a mountain with two round openings in the upper part. The flow of lines and shading recalls the form of a volcano, and at the same time a woman’s long hair.
Finally, the third painting appears to depict the long hair of two women, seen from both the front and back, while also evoking the outlines of mountains.
