Oswaldo Guayasamin was born in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, the 6th of July de 1919. He graduates as a paintor and Scultor in the "Bellas Artes de Quito" school art. He has his first exposition when he was 23 years old, en 1942.
I have saw this piece of art many years ago when I was at school and the art teachers took as to this great museum that was build in honor to this paintor. I chose this piece of art of Oswaldo Guayasamín because it is called "Maternidad" maternity in english, and I think that it really express a lot of protection, care, love in this paint. I think is a really good piece of art.

Hi Consuelo,
It's interesting that you first saw this piece of art so long ago, and that it has stayed with you through the years. Guayasamin seemed to have started out at a young age, with his first exposition at the age of 23. I can see what you mean when you say this painting expresses a lot of maternal characteristics, such as love and protection. Thanks for your post.

I dearly love this painting, and I'm glad to it's had an effect on others as well. The title of this work, however, is "La Ternura." "Maternidad" is the title of a similar piece.
