The abstract paintings of Maria Pacheco are made by combining the symbols of native peoples of Bolivia and also the wonderful mountain ranges to be found.

Maria Pacheco passed away in 2012.

I enjoy her work with the figure almost as much as her abstract paintings because these are also very abstract.
