LIP had the opportunity to interview the plastic artist Augusta Sarria Larco whose exhibition “HUELLAS, the skin of memory …”, was just shown in the gallery Guzmán & Lazo.
The exhibition is a journey through and out of ourselves. It is “a confrontation with the void, the uncertainty, of conquering the unknown, of closing circles, the spirit of resilience recorded in the DNA of every human being, perhaps in the skin of memory”.
Augusta Sarria Larco is a Peruvian artist who graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru with a specialty in Painting. She is currently part of the group of visual artists Des-Bordes made up of well-known artists from Peru. Throughout her career, she has presented individual exhibitions both nationally and internationally in countries such as Spain and the United States.
