This work was made following the traditional colours of the Latin American version of the ‘Virgen de Guadalupe’. Ortuño explains that when the Spanish came to colonise Latin America they introduced Catholicism to the population. As a way to “soften” the introduction of a completely new and foreign belief the colonisers altered the traditional imagery of the Virgin. They allowed the Virgin’s garments and robes to be changed to more traditionally indigenous colours and decorations to try and persuade the indigenous people that these images and icons had belonged in their country for thousands of years. This work is Ortuño’s own version of the Virgen de Guadalupe. The work is titled “Nuestra Señora” or “Our Lady;” the name with which she is traditionally referenced.
