Curandera is a tribute to the medicine women of the diaspora—keepers of ritual, plant knowledge, and spiritual healing. Drawing from Afro-Indigenous traditions, the figure radiates a presence both grounded and celestial. Her braids act as channels for ancestral voices, intertwining with patterns that reference herbs, roots, and ritual objects. The vibrant palette suggests both vitality and transcendence, echoing the lushness of the natural world from which these medicines are drawn. This painting positions the healer as both guardian and creator, embodying resilience in the face of colonial erasure and celebrating the sacred inheritance of healing arts.
