Gilda Mantilla
Gilda Mantilla (b. 1967, Los Angeles, USA) lives and works in Lima. She holds a BFA in Painting from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (1985–1990).
Mantilla presents a set of paintings that correspond to recent approaches and explorations in which images confront each other, allowing the focus of form and content to link and contradict each other. The whole forms a sequence without fixed linkages, but with a potential narrative line that transludes both the desire to articulate a new gesture, and that of a self-parody.
