Lot Essay

This drawing from 1973 already presents the main elements to be found in Tilsa's series of Mitos, a series of eight oils inspired in Peruvian motifs and known as her pivotal work. They are mainly composed of landscapes with strong, magical telluricism populated by undefinable characters with the erotic and poetic instrospection that is present in all her work.
