Original artwork description
With the 'Dancing Ladies' series -name inspired by the Dancing Lady orchid- I show the diverse regions of Peru with depictions of native orchids and regional dances. This series has been part of the Orchid Festival 2025 Exhibition at Kew Gardens, London.
“Tondero and Dancing Lady” Acrylic on canvas, 130 x 100cm.
Tondero is a traditional dance from the north of Peru (Piura-Lambayeque) Accompanied by a guitar and cajon, the tondero tells the story of a couple’s romance and falling-in-love.
Oncidium orchids are native to Peru and the lush jungles of Central and South America, both in low-lying coastal areas, and as high as 8 000 feet in the Andes Mountains
Know as “Dancing Lady Orchid” because the shape of its flowers, with their large, flowing petals, resemble the skirt of a dancing woman, giving the appearance of movement the petals look like a swirling skirt in motion.
