A place of architectural beauty and strong mysticism, Machu Picchu inspires this extraordinary composition by Alberto Caballero Valdelomar. Machu Picchu is a vertical city, religious yet profane, military yet monastic, says Caballero as he describes the sacred city atop the Andes. Machu Picchu is like a mute expression of man caught between heaven and earth. Working with a colorful palette of acrylic paints, Caballero stylizes the celebrated city which the Inca believed to express two dimensions, hanan pacha, (time and space) and mama pacha, meaning Mother Earth. Titled Machu Picchu - Pacha Mama in Quechua.
