In a chilly Belgium Leonor Villagra is conquering her own warm spot for Latin American art. Her work is not only the expression of the brilliant colour palette of the country she was born in, the very special mixture of elements of Indian and Spanish culture constitutes its underlying force. .............. A mixed Indian and Spanish culture .......In Belgium Leonor misses the cordiality of the Peruvian society. Her work shows how much she misses that. Dark colours exploding in an exuberant southern colouring are typical for her art. Our dull climate leaves gloomy impressions in her work, as well as the reflection of the strong egocentricity of our society, the lack of human cordiality, creates a sad and touches in Leonor’s work.
