i am deeply honored to introduce you to my dear friend-
lena uses the rich context of the traditional huipil
as a canvas for deep story telling.
She considers art making as a way to speak of beauty, truth, spirit, joy, pain, justice,
everything that this human life entails.
“In creating our own huipil, we are using it as a vehicle, where acceptance,
forgiveness and transformation have a place to co-exist.”

I agree with Lena, art is a way to speak of truth and beauty. These are fantastic.

Such a beautiful way to create. I know little about this art form but I can see it is beautiful and soul-filled. I love prayer flags and these seem to me to be a kind of prayer flags. Kudos to Lena Bartula.
