This artwork is a tribute to the modern-day curanderas—powerful women rooted in tradition, resistance, and healing. Blending ancestral wisdom with contemporary strength, this piece honors the Chingona spirit: fierce, grounded, sacred, and unapologetically herself.
The figure stands in a field of cempasúchil, radiating warmth, life, and memory. Half of her face is revealed, human and proud, while the other half is hidden behind a jaguar mask—symbol of power, protection, and spiritual transformation. The copal smoke she holds rises like prayer, connecting past and present, seen and unseen. Her tattoos and regalia are a visual language—speaking of identity, lineage, and inner fire.
Wrapped in a sarape, with braids like roots and eyes like fire, she is a bridge between worlds. She represents the women who carry medicine in their hands, stories in their scars, and strength in their silence. This piece is a visual invocation of ancestral medicine, divine femininity, and cultural resilience.
