Over the next following weeks I am dropping 80 graphics as part of my descubrimiento del Rio Amazonas (Discovery of the Amazon River) collection. The collection depicts a Spanish conquest in the region of the Amazon forest, later to be identified as Quito, Ecuador. Truly these works of art require no text to walk any viewer through history. These illustrations were drawn by hand by several Ecuadorian artists. As a first-generation American I was truly blessed to take part of this project, which allowed me to understand the land my family came from. My goal for this drop is to bring awareness to this part of Ecuadorian history and to share the art with other first-generation Americans of Ecuadorian descent.
as of 14OCT21, the first 5 graphics have been released.
