Graciela Genovés
“The painting is inspired by a street in my neighborhood, San Telmo, where every summer a jasmine vendor offers her bouquets. It’s a lively street, full of tourists and locals who coexist peacefully. A peaceful coexistence among diverse people, from different backgrounds, who speak different languages, with different customs and colors. It’s my idea of peace.”
