The
progress of Lucila has been enormous. Twenty years ago she got
started in the production of Patchwork working for someone
else. Now, she has a workshop in which five people work with
her (even twenty can work there when there is a big demand).
She can express her art through the arpilleras
and has the independence required for doing this: the motifs
that she uses in them are rural images, farm recollections from her
youth, where she shows the shining and vivid colors of the
Andes.
Lucila’s
small company is called “Lucero del futuro”, Spanish for
“Future’s morning star”. And her future is a shining
one: with the Internet, she expects to expand her market, to
arrive to more customers. “The important thing”, she says,
“is to always have work”. We can add that art, talent and
beauty will be always present on Lucila´s work.
