Recorriendo Perú

Travelling in Peru · Oil and acrylic on canvas

Landscapes painted from journeys through Peru’s coast, highlands and Amazon — including remote places reached on foot, by climbing or by swimming. The series depicts sites such as the Colca Canyon, the Nazca Lines, the Uros islands and the Huacachina oasis, and has toured Europe, the UK and the United States since 2018, frequently with the support of Peruvian embassies. The paintings are often exhibited alongside poems by the artist and by the poet Javier Heraud.

Large earth-toned geometric painting topped by a row of stylized spotted jaguars, filled with Andean textile motifs, diamond medallions, step-frets and radial suns.

Vivid geometric compositions that weave pre-Columbian iconography — serpents, spirals, stepped frets — through saturated fields of colour, drawing on the textile and architectural geometry of ancient Peru.

Painting of concentric white, silver, and magenta rings on a yellow square within a dark border.

Piedras

24 works

Stones · Acrylic on canvas

A meditation on the minerals, crystals and sacred stones Heraud collects while travelling through Peru. Each canvas isolates a single stone on a bold, hard-edged ground — part portrait, part talisman.

Painting of a black jackal-headed Anubis silhouette against a cream and gold stepped-geometric ground, with a turquoise and gold column of Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols including an eye down the right edge.

Egipto

8 works

Egypt · Acrylic and gold pigment on canvas

Paintings born of a journey to Egypt: Anubis, scarabs and the Eye of Horus rendered in flat silhouette and gold, finding common ground between Egyptian and Andean symbol-making.

Ceramics · Hand-built, painted ceramic

Hand-built bowls, cups and vessels carrying the same geometric language as the canvases. Heraud paints her ceramics using ash from the Agnihotra fire ceremony, a material she regards as sacred.
