About our Artist: Peru's Kathiana Quispe says, 'I was born in the beautiful and historic department of Cuzco where the first Andean civilizations were formed with Huari and Tiahuanaco influences.

But practice, steadiness and perseverance were my pillars to keep going. My inspiration comes from the silhouettes I create.
