Ancient cultures such as the Inca culture facinate me and inspire me in my art practice so I wanted to use something from the Inca culture in my painting.
The Tumi was used by the Incas as a knife in sacrificial rituals where llamas were sacrificed. It’s made of gold and turquoise stones.

My intention is to create a tension between the abstract background and the geometrical shapes of the motif, between the brutal aspect of the Tumi and the sweetness of the pink colours.
