Ethnic Mirrors
Eliane Cristina Testa
BrazilGALLERYCONVERSATION
I feel that my art reflects the collective soul of women, despite the particularities and differences in the faces. In Ethnic Mirrors - women are reflected in a cosmopolitan mirror, without focus on color, beliefs, or barriers. This is a "Universal Mirror" and in it all women appears equal, side by side.
