And although many who know her work describe her as a portraitist, due to the power and expressiveness of her portraits, her work offers a wide range of subjects, from landscapes and seascapes to portraits, religious art, and more. But all of it is imbued with that special light of our land, Andalusia." The poster is not intended as a portrait of the honoree, Manuel Cordero, but rather of the lament that seems to come from the depths of a broken soul, expressing itself as only he knows how. flamenco. The guitar and the gypsy woman (…) are elements of the atmosphere that envelops that magical night, so intertwined in our culture and our hallmark, which is Yerbabuena.” ♦
