2020 – In solitude, in confinement, you can see the shine inside you

Untie my Bunbon-Colored lips
Untie my Bunbon-Colored lips

2016 – If you don’t do it, it’s because my silence is worth a thousand words

… But I’m still standing
… But I’m still standing

2017 – Even if it carries tornadoes inside

Caramelized lips
Caramelized lips

2017 – Split or whole, always sweet

It was your kiss my crown
It was your kiss my crown

2011 – …and you made me queen in your story

Bio

Born in New York City, USA in 1963, Patricia Olguín graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru with a major in sculpture and has exhibited in various parts of the world.
