Puky Henicke
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
I paint what I dream and I dream what I live. Each work is a way of being born again.
Puky Henicke is a dreamer. A painter born and based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, she has made reinvention a way of life: a woman, a mother, a grandmother and, above all, a lover of art and self-expression.
Her work grows out of the courtyard, out of memory and the color of her land. On her canvases the intimate and the overflowing live side by side: the childhood home, the rivers of the east, the women who inhabit her.
Painting, for her, is not a trade but a way of saying what words cannot reach. Every canvas is an open letter.
