Paintings by Altamirano
Elena is the director and principal artist on display in
the gallery. She paints, tending toward the abstract, in
acrylic, oil and water color. A distinctive aspect of her
art is the fabrication, preparation, sewing, stressing of
her canvas using thread or wire from purchased or found
materials before applying paints. This requires a bit of
work to prepare the canvas in such manner, so you
probably won’t see such work in Triunfo street where the
mass produced (i.e. copies of others works) and touristic
art is sold.
