"The land belongs to those who sow it, that's why this land is mine" ??
Florinda Soriano Muñoz was an activist and defender of peasant rights in the Dominican Republic. She was assassinated fighting against the unjustified dispossession of land from the resident peasants of Hato Viejo in Yamasá during the second government of Joaquín Balaguer.
Brave, strong woman who fought to defend the dignity of the Dominican peasant. Mural in honor of a woman I admire and who makes me feel proud of my roots.
Thanks to @cromcinarte for the invitation, to @pinturaspopular and @alcaldiadn for this initiative to rescue events and people that have been key in our history and above all thanks to all my people from Ciudad Nueva in sd, my beloved neighborhood that I will love forever ??
It is important to emphasize that this is my artistic interpretation of her, due to the little photographic reference of her person, but I wanted to represent the strength of the gaze of a woman of steel.
Kilia Llano is a multidisciplinary artist from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Her realistic/impressionist style is committed to capturing human emotions and their environment, the social world in which they develop, but also the relationship with nature based on our humanity, and how our personal experiences transform the way we relate and see the world around us. Kilia got her BFA (Fine Arts and Illustration) at Chavón School of Design (DR) and Parsons School of design (NY), among other minor studies at Universidad Autónoma of Barcelona (Ancient Art History) and UNIBE university (Art Education), where she developed her interest in different painting and drawing techniques, to be able to portrait the imaginary and real world that she represents in her paintings, murals and illustrations. A visionary artist, Kilia pushes her knowledge of traditional techniques and convert it in a unique, modern, and strong style, and is also committed to teach the future generation of artists. Her work has been exhibited in many places in the DR but also outside (USA, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spain and Italy) and is present in prestigious, public and private collections at the DR, and small collections in the USA.
