🗣️ TELL US WHAT YOU THINK! Take our two-question survey to share your thoughts on "Woman with Serpent and Monsoon" with us LINK IN BIO! Celebrated for their precision and elegance, Fatima Ronquillo's artwork is inspired by many different sources-ranging from European portraiture to Southwestern Santos figures. Born in the Philippines, a former Spanish Colony and a largely Catholic country, Ronquillo was surrounded by religious imagery as a child. After emigrating to the United States, she noticed parallels between the religious iconography of the American Southwest and that of her native country. Influenced by her personal frame of reference, Ronquillo creates an imagined realm highlighting cross-cultural influences and symbolism. 🖼️ Fatima Ronquillo, born 1976, "Women with Serpent and Monsoon," 2023, oil on aluminum panel, courtesy of @meyer_gallery, Santa Fe, NM
